Hey Mike.
You lost me here - what do you mean by hooking and looping - is this an
EASY-PC term?
It's actually a debugging term, or so I'm told. I believe when using a
debugger you're able to track how a program works and where in memory it's
going to or will possibly go to next. So you can 'hook' a piece of code and
follow it through execution loops - I assume.
I've never encountered this phrase in reference to breakpoint debugging,
so it must be a "local idiom".
This would seem to be an unusual way to attempt to get the (presumeably
tested) autorouter module working. That is almost certainly a problem
with the installation/configuration of the program, not a debugging
problem.
