Sure.  The tools we currently market are:

Ups   - A graphical debugger for C and FORTRAN (you can even insert fragments of
        C into your code whilst debugging!)
Fs    - A graphical file system editor (especially useful when manipulating
        large/complicated file trees)
Vdiff - A graphical file differencer (shows the two files side-by-side,
        and allows you browse the annotated differences)
Vf    - An intelligent file browser (shows bitmaps as bitmaps, tar files
        as a tar tv listing, directories, object files, .... and text.  Sold
        in conjunction with fs)
Guide - A hypertext system (can handle a mixture of pictures and text - a very
        rich set of capabilities)
Rtp   - A real-time execution profiler (shows where the time is being spent
        whilst the code is running).

Prices are very low for academic institutions, somewhat higher (but still
reasonable) for companies etc.

The tools run on a variety of UNIX platforms using X11, and on Sun3/4/386
under X11 or SunView.
