Yes, Leon still has a CIS account, though I don't have is ID handy.

TDI is (thankfully) dead.  There's also Pecan M2, but I would avoid
it, as it's based on the P-system (remember UCSD Pascal?), and while
the M2 implementation might be decent, the P-system is a throwback to
the days of character oriented displays.

I've used both Benchmark and M2Sprint, and while both are quite nice,
I prefer Benchmark.  I'm an Emacs fan so would rather use Benchmark's
editor over M2Sprint, and the Benchmark Source Level Debugger is the
best debugger I've seen anywhere!
