My experience with TRAC (we used a version called TRAK) was 
combined with my first experience with timesharing (Xerox Sigma V).
It was for a programming languages course.  The instructor was 
attempting to show us how different a language could be in which
we could still do something useful.  We wrote a small Lisp
interpreter.

By the way, TRAC stands for Text Reconning(sp?) And Compiling.
If there is a UNIX version it would be nice to see it posted in
comp.unix.sources.  Otherwise, it would be nice to see a C or 
Pascal version in alt.sources.

If you don't want to do this, maybe you could just arrange to send
me one of the versions.  :-)

There is another reference in "Computer Lib!".  That's my primary
exposure.  It sounds like a good application to port to a IBM PC
or Macintosh.  Imagine a window showing the active and passive
stacks during debugging executing!
