TMON was written by Waldemar Horwat. It was almost always used with an optional add-on, called a User Area, that was written by Darin Adler. Both of them were just kids at the time they worked on TMON. Darin Adler was a college student, and Waldemar Horwat had not yet finished high school. According to Darin Adler’s account, Horwat wrote the entire thing (in assembly language), before ever trying to assemble it.
- reactordev 3y agoBack then it was common to print it all out so you could reason with it.
- bsimpson 3y agoInteresting - I didn't know Waldemar's background. I know him as the Google folk hero who asked real questions of the executives at TGIF.

- cancerhacker 3y agoTMON is absolutely hands down the most joyful tool I’ve ever used. Debugging classic mac INITs, trap patches, heaps. I’m sure a mail machine would’ve felt similar (if not more alive) but being able to poke at a running system - from within the system - was amazing. We do it differently now, but for a brief period of time, we were gods.
