Thanks for the comments on Jasik's Debugger.  I have been curious ever since
his article/ad in MacTutor, and now I know: stay away.  It's slow, it's
completely useless for anything I do since it's incompatible with Appletalk,
and it has a Jasik user interface.  Nosy has quite literally the worst user
interface I have ever used.  Even if you make allowances for "first Mac
program", it's still amazingly bad.  I hoped that he'd straightened up for
his debugger, but apparently not.

But I didn't fork an emacs to bitch about Jasik.  Has anyone heard of any
plans to create a MultiFinder-based debugger?  Now that Apple has finally
upgraded their system software to the state of the art at the time of the
Mac's introduction, a real debugger application should be possible, not one
of these TSR-type hacks.  An application-based debugger shouldn't be any
more fragile than an above-BufPtr one, and the user interface benefits are
obvious.  Not only that, it should be much easier to develop the debugger.
Any interesting rumors along these lines?
