So you're going back to an operating system which is basically just a GUI sitting on top of that ancient command line operating system, DOS? Anyway, GDB works fine for me. If you want a graphical version, writing a front-end for that seems like the most sensible thing to do. GDB probably does most things you could want from a debugger, a front-end just makes that eas(y|ier), and I imagine writing a debugger from scratch would be pretty complicated. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@FreeBSD.org / PGP: 0x99392F7D FreeBSD Documentation Project / To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
