The parameter c to a routine is defined in the routine as: register int c; Any changes to this variable inside the routine show no change, as SDB obviously refers to the value on the stack frame. The register associated with c changes properly. I realize that there is nothing I can do about this, except check the register. Is this the standard way, or is there something I am grossly ignorant about. P.S. I assume local variables defined as register can be displayed properly, since there is nowhere else SDB can get the value but the register. R. Day
