Minor Prop IDE Visibility Upgrade Please

@Ken Gracie;
Hello Ken... I'm back at working with the Prop, and for now am spending a fair bit of time looking at the IDE window examining RAM contents. Might it be possible to insert narrow vertical delineation space or slightly wider columns between groups of 4 bytes? I'm doing a lot of counting when it would·be more intuitive with a bit of white space.
Thanks for listening.
Cheers,
Peter (pjv)

Try Brad's BST Spin Tool which includes a listing window. I have been using BST for quite a while now in place of the Prop Tool as BST includes a lot of extra features and Brad is happy to include reasonable suggestions. BST also runs on Mac and Linux platforms.

Alternatively you can save the Prop Tool file as a binary and examine that with a hex editor.

Please use mikronauts _at_ gmail _dot_ com to contact me off-forum, my PM is almost totally full

Las - Large model assembler for the Propeller Largos - a feature full nano operating system for the Propeller
So I followed the link, and haven't a clue what to do.... I'm rather PC illiterate, and it's mosly jibberish to me.!
How do I get this loaded and working?

I suspect this is the file you want.
www.fnarfbargle.com/bst/0184/bst-0.18.4.exe.zip
Download, Unzip, Run.
There is no install process, just run the .exe file and you are good to go.
You will need to configure your compiler library search path "Tools -> Compiler Preferences -> Search Paths"
And it might help you to configure the directory tree for your project files "Tools -> IDE Preferences -> Editor Paths"
Provided you have had the Propeller tool installed at some point you should be ok with font and FTDI driver.

lt's not particularly silly, is it?
Thanks for the link.
I have it loaded, but am obviously misunderstanding something..... the program I wrote shows up, just as it did with the Propeller IDE, but when pressing F8 to see the resulting code, the window does not show the assembled/compiled data, and that's what I'm needing (and wanted to improve the visibility slightly).
Did I miss a step or something?
Cheers,

Not really. Try opening the "Compiled Listing" window and pressing F8 or F9 and see if that gives you something to work with.
I never got around to implementing the binary view window as I never use it. It's on my todo list, but its not that high up. If I want to do that I simply drop a binary and use hexedit to check it out. The list view is a bit of a different animal though and quite different. I think its quite useful, but then I would.
