MacsBug.....simple and featureless, but believe it or not, it gets the
job done a lot of the time.  Best of all it's auto-installing and does
it quickly.  (I have it loaded all the time.)

TMON - Good for most other jobs where MacsBug may not be enough.  Though I
rarely touch it.

The Debugger - very nice...  Hogs memory, won't work under MF (Bec. Apple
won't provide the info needed by Jasik) and a few features not yet
implemented.  Once these are fixed.....well....  I'll tell it then!!
