With the 4.2 distribution of UNIX I, and my users, have found that the
dbx debugger is just about useless for debugging f77 programs.  One
big problem is that while you are in a subroutine you couldn't examine
any variables.  There are many many other problems.  My question is,
how do you debug your f77 programs?  Do you use a modified version of
sdb? a fixed version of dbx? print statements?  Any advise or pointers
regarding the above would be appreciated.
