it is the slower way to debug
also, trying to debug a program you didn't write yourself, is more painful with
the 4-port debugger, as compared to a source oriented debugger
I am not saying that the 4-port debugger is completely useless, but perhaps
nearly so

forget about 5-port debugging in ProLog by BIM as well: it is still there,
but once you use the source oriented debugging tool (which looks very much
like dbxtool) you will not want to use the port debugger any more
