Re: Why was the DEBUG Op Code not carried over to RPL/ILE?

[PaulMmn <PaulMmn@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Along the same line:  Is the DUMP opcode supported?  Granted, I seldom use
either the DEBUG or the DUMP, but it just so happens I'm in the process of
debugging a CPIC communications program, and it's a lot easier to stick a
few DEBUG and DUMP commands in the receiving program than it is to place it
in debug mode.
