Requires any Apple IIgs System
Software
SysFail Plus enhances the
Apple IIgs System Death Manager to improve the screen you
see when the system crashes. Instead of the sliding Apple
with a cryptic error message like this:
Eeew. Gross.
You get a much more detailed screen that looks like this:
Ahhh. Details I can work with!
The enhanced screen tells you what tool set the error
corresponds with, what the name of the error is, as well
as its number, attempts to tell you what Toolbox call
resulted in the error, the return address that was on the
stack at the time the error occurred, and the text of the
error message sent to the System Death Manager.
You can even pop into the Monitor to do some debugging.
A simple BASIC program is configured to let you configure
the screen colors used by SysFail Plus. I like the bright
yellow on red because, boy, does it stand out!
