Colorful Sled can do the same but it is so awkward that I quickly split the file into smaller bits.

I should have been more clear, I have the printed Dr. Dobbs magazines and one copy done in the next cities library.

Library? What's that.

...

It's the "C" source level debugging that has been a non starter in the CoCo world.

Should I need to write a few lines of code to do a query of the 10 Years of Rainbow on Disk against the 81,248 records looking for more lost ROTROD I would have the same great debugging capability.

But Paradox 10's interactive capability is so great that it will be unnecessary.
