Z:gnu-www-ja-stallman-kth--fbf462-Then after GNU Emacs was reaso/en

Then after GNU Emacs was reasonably stable, which took all in all about a year and a half, I started getting back to other parts of the system. I developed a debugger which I called GDB which is a symbolic debugger for C code, which recently entered distribution. Now this debugger is to a large extent in the spirit of DBX, which is a debugger that comes with Berkeley Unix. Commands consist of a word that says what you want to do, followed by arguments. In this debugger, commands can all be abbreviated, and the common commands have single character abbreviations, but any unique abbreviation is always allowed. There are extensible HELP facilities, you can type HELP followed by any command or even subcommands, and get a lengthy description of how to use that command. Of course you can type any expression in C, and it will print the value.
