}    The problem is that sometimes I want to trace through his code, but

} tried the 'file' command to tell it to look in at the source in the
} release directory, but dbx responds with:
} warning: File `release/src/filename.c' has not been compiled with the -g option
} It then continues to use the source in the develop directory.
} 
}    Is there a way to tell dbx to use the file anyway.

Our implementation of dbx uses a "-I dir_name" to add a pathname to the
list of directories that dbx searches to find source files.  I don't know
if this is what you mean by the "file command".

Since the code you are borrowing is still under development, ask your
friend to compile it with the -g option like the message says.
