I downloaded geoDebugger 2.0 from Q-Link.  It is in the Berkeley Applications
section.  There was also a monster file, (200+ blocks arc'd, 440+ unarc'd),
that provided some details on geoDebugger 2.0.  I was going to send it 
to milton.u.washington.edu, but it told me permission denied.  This is the
first time I have tried to upload there, so either I did something wrong,
or you can not send anonymous submissions, or something.

Two things about geoDebugger 2.0 that I liked right away.

1. It configures itself as the SuperDebugger on a C-128 even if you don't 
have an REU.

2. It works with the 80-column mode.  The disassembling, typing in commands
etc. is done in 40 column mode, but the application will display on the
80-column mode if you opened geoDebugger from the 80 column mode.  The patch
for the old debugger would only run in 40 column mode.  When you open
geoDebugger 2.0 from 80-column mode, switch your monitor to composite.  It
doesn't say to do this, but the 80-column screen just sits there.  I thought
it bombed the first time I ran it.  When you want to see the application
(like after hitting f7) then just switch back to RGB on your monitor.  This
is nice when you are debugging an 80 column application.  There is a small
geoWrite 2.1 document that comes with the geoDebugger 2.0 (it is a self-
dissolving ARC or whatever).  I couldn't read it because I don't have
version 2.1.

I would have placed it at milton, but I couldn't figure out how.
Any ideas?
