Yes SADE is out and it doesn't need 4 meg but IMHO it is slow and a hack to use. For my 2 cents(actually, quite a bit more), I use Jasik's Debugger. It really is nothing like the original version of Nosy, no longer line driven, but fully mouse and window interfaced and does just about everything I want from a debugger. It now provides assembler, source or mixed levels of debug. The new news from Jasik Designs is the 'Incremental Build System' which gives MPW C and Pascal a Lightspeed-like smart linker and a huge decrease in Compile-Link-Test-Edit cycle time. Good Luck, Ira Rampil Department of Anesthesia UCSF disclaimer: Jasik is an acquantance of mine, and I am a satisfied customer of his.
