Often even if warned not to mix DDT and SDK, we all see the benefits (and awe at the "Why did it crash?") in examples and problems that people have.
I submit the idea that no one way of thinking is ALWAYS correct, but when you mix and match (even when you did not know you did) that this may be of help.
What if you can "Run-Time" Debug??? even after testing with debugger for things you did not think of???
Worth a few or more $$$ to me...and because I hate it when offered a possibly good tool that benefits all I think worth posting in case it can help someone else.
Select if you want to debug, catch errors, log the errors, and build routines from there to prevent the errors
Still a TON to work on ideas, but this should help most people
Modules below, or download the project

Any Errors or things I missed, let me know inRaising Errors for Testing
