As for the laundry list to build tgdb is not that long for the tcl/tk people because most of them will have all the extensions except for TkSteal and is no big deal to build TkSteal. I was one of the first to port ups to 386bsd and I rarely use it. Don't get me wrong, I like ups and for that matter tgdb needs work. I just think that is less of a hazzle to have tgdb than ups with gdb included. Regards, Amancio
