Yup. A newer version of sdb. Sorry, I couldn't resist.... :-)
The CPLU (APU?) 4.1 version (AT&T 3B2's, SysVr3.1v2) isn't all
that bad. I hear the 4.2 one is even better! The problem with
SDB is the manual. Terse is an understatement! The discussion
in the Programmer's Guide is much better. You _can_ do almost
anything with sdb.
Actually, try HCR's dbxtra. I saw a demo about a month ago, and
was quite impressed. It seems to be a multi-window version of
dbx, with COFF support hacked in. It appeared to be as easy to
use as MS-CodeView but more powerful!
There's also gdb (GNU, aka FSF). Not sure if they have COFF
support. For X-Window hackers, there's xdbx.
