GSBug is a debugger for the GS, currently available only through APDA 
(Apple Programmers & Developers Association) for $30.  It's an extension 
of their earlier debugger, DEBUG. In addition to being able to set 
breakpoints, display or modify registers & memory, disassemble code, and step 
through code, GSBug can set breakpoints at the calling point of GS tools.

Unfortunately, GSBug is still in "Beta test" format, and the documentation
does not describe the entire feature set. As I've run up against limitations,
I've been asking for help and the experienced folks at Apple and Claris have
been able to provide helpful answers.
