Well, it turns out that "ddd-2.1.0.tar.gz" was actually ddd v1.3b (for
FreeBSD 2.1.0...).  So it would appear that the latest and greatest
version "carried by" FreeBSD is 1.4c (Nate  uses this one, as well
as several other people who responded and I forget their names.. :-)).

It seems that DDD is quite a popular GUI debugger. Unfortunately, it's not
compiled up for version 2.0 yet -- so us folks without Motif can't use it.

On the plus side, I tried out 1.4c and it seems quite excellent!! Now I
really want to see 2.0! Maybe this weekend I'll dig into LessTif and see
if I can get it compiled...

Thanks,
-Mark
