True. It's probably a programmer thing. It's easier to generate
vertically. Scaling would be a problem though.

Yes, but it's not quite as bad as it sounds. This is private address
space. It does not take away from address space available to other
applications. Only shared memory does that.

No, it's fine. It's got information I would have had to ask for to set up
a more appropriate set of tracepoints.

Use the attached.

Run SimTownTrc.cmd first to configure the trace. Check line 14 and make
sure I've got the names and locations correct.

After that run TraceCtl.cmd. This a generic trace control assistant. It
makes it easy to pause and resume the trace. With the trace resumed, try
to start Simtown/2. When it fails, pause the trace and recapture the
buffer. This will give me something interesting to look at. We'll add
more tracepoints if this is not enough.

It's a detached process. Use pstat to see it.

>Theseus run?

Possible, but I don't think so.
