I've got a fairly large application (~20 modules, ~15,000 lines of C)
that I'm cleaning up to compile under Turbo C.  I've run into serious
memory errors at a variety of places--arrays writing over code,
pointers to the Twilight Zone, malloc calls that bomb, etc. Single
stepping execution via Turbo C's Integrated Environment hasn't helped,
besides, I hate it!

I'm looking for a memory debugging library for C. There are several
sold through the Programmer's Connection (MAD etc.).  Typically they
offer error checking and verbose diagnostic reporting versions of
*alloc, free, etc. I'm interested in any experience anyone has had with
this type of debugger, and any recommendations, including ftp'able
software.

PLEASE REPLY VIA E-MAIL. I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE ALL REPLIES AND SUMMARIZE TO THE NET
