Would you believe the there is a little better debugger around.  It is called
FSDBUG (Full Screen DeBUG) and is available by hook or by crook.  Why is that?
Well, it was written by an IBM employee in Germany and, so far, is only for
use inside of IBM.  It has five areas on the screen that one could work in.
1. All the the registers are displayed and are changable
2. A memory dump, 8 bytes wide by 8 lines deep, in HEX
3. A disassembled code area, about 10 line long.
4. Another memory dump area, but 16 bytes wide by 8 lines deep.
5. To the right of #4 is the same data shown in ASCII.

All of the areas are changed by using the cursors to scroll around in the
data.  The program is really nice.  I have only begun to use what it can do.

IBM really should release it to the public.  (NO I don't work for IBM)
