After having used SDB for over a month to debug 2 commercial programs
I concur with the above quote and more: I think SDB is the best thing
that was invented after sliced bread :-)  I found a number of bugs that
I believe would have taken me 3-4 times more time if I had to use DB (the
assembler debugger), printf and kprintf.  I sincerely hope CBM will
consider this when they'll hand out prizes at the Dev. Conf.  Jim
Goodnow II has done an immense good job for us Amiga developers.  At
this point in time, any commercial developer that is NOT using SDB is
clearly shooting himself in the foot, unless he has invested too much 
development in Lattice C.  And consider that MANX is actually giving
away SDB at the price they are selling it.
