     After much debate and extensive experience with both GNU and Sun (AT&T
Cfront) C++ compilers, we've decided to go with Saber C++.  By far, the
biggest advantage was dynamic linking and the debugging capabilities.  The
ParcPlace sales people showed us a lot of fancy browsing, but they just
don't have very good debugging facilities.

     Saber C++'s debugging is right up there with my other favorite debugger,
gdb.  There are features I like about each debugger, but since we now use
multiple inheritance and some of our applications run into the hundreds of
thousands of lines of code, Saber C++ wins hands down.  Now only if Saber
would implement a "finish" (current function) command . . . .
