gnobug is an init to make gsbug work with gno.  It should be placed
before gsbug (make sure your directory is sorted accordingly) to be
effective.

If you are using Orca/C 1.3 or earlier, this is to allow you to force
your program to use the stack that GS/OS allocates, rather than the
one Orca allocates.  C 2.0 fixes this.  To use it with pre-2.0, just
#pragma stacksize #, and make sure to link the direct.256 file with 
your other object modules.
