I was talking about gdb *tool*, NOT GDB! Thanks to those who told me what I already know! (not *really* a flame, just read a little more carefully folks ;-). GDB tool is analogous to dbxTool (I guess, not ever having used the beast). I have since dug up a man page but it wasn't really helpful (in the sense that GDBtool is a simple to use as it seems). As for those folks who are interested in where I got this widgit... the fellow who maintains GDB here at CMU says he can't find the sources for it but when he does, I would be more than happy to make it available to whomever wants to use it. Personally, I prefer the typing interface to the debugger. The only real use I have for GDBtool is that it makes it pretty easy to stop at a given point in the text. Even then I find it equally as tedidious as figuring out the line number by hand and then telling the debugger to stop there (especially when the point of interest is not in the file being displayed by GDBtool) Charles Fineman Carnegie-Mellon University cef@h.cs.cmu.edu (via seismo) "I curse the fates that bind me to this strange land"
