Last call! Thanks to those who responded, a summary will be posted soon.

I'm looking for a memory debugging library for C. I've got a large
application, originally written under U*IX, that I'm porting to TurboC.
The Borland IDE is inadequate and painful to use.

There are several sold through the Programmer's Connection. 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. Any experience with the following:

	Super Malloc	Kandu Inc.
	Bounds-Checker	Nu-Mega Technologies, Inc.
	SafeHeap	Seabreeze Software
	MemCheck	StratosWare Corporation
	MAD		Machine Independant Software
	Heaps & Bounds	Vertical Technologies

Many people suggested the dbmalloc library recently posted to the net.
Has anyone got this working under TurboC or DJGCC?

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