   You should note that the MacTutor Review of 'The Debugger' was not really
a review but a bit of a peek into the program. Since the article was written
by Steve Jasik himself it is a bit hard to consider it a review. Nonetheless
I was impressed enough by the article to purchase a copy at work just 
yesterday. I haven't started up the program yet but will in the next few
days and will try and post comments accordingly. The biggest bad news about
it so far (before inserting the disk) is that the documentation is again
a 4 page handout, a la the original MacNosy documentation (in length at least).
I can't yet testify about the quality of the docs OR the product, but that
is what I know so far. I do know that if the program can do what his 
article claims then it would have saved me at least 1-2 weeks in debugging
an extremely difficult problem I had a couple of months ago.
