	Pardon me if this has been discussed previously, I haven't been 
reading this group for a while.

	I just received some information in the mail from INMOS about 
a new product, "ANSI C Toolset for the Transputer Family" and I would 
like to find out if anyone is or has used this.  Specifically I'd 
like to know more about the debugger which is touted in the glossy.  
They supposedly provide both an interactive and post-mortem source 
level debugger, as well as a simulator.  I would like to know how 
well the interactive debugger works.  Particularly how well it 
deals with multiple processes on a single transputer, and accessing 
local or static variables.  

	We currently are using Logical Systems C and have written our 
own post-mortem debugger, based on adb.  We're using the B011 board 
on a sun 3.  We very happy with the code LS's compiler generates
but we'd be happy with an interactive debugger.

I have been using the Inmos C compiler for a long time now (almost
from the start) targetting T2 family Tp's.

The debugger has more features than I have time to go into,
it has proved to be extremly useful, well thought out and well
worth using. 

Gripes? Well there are a few, but nothing anywhere is 
perfect and frankly we would be starting to nit-pick.

Unfortunately I have no experience with it on multiple transputer
networks. However, from the menu's its looking good.... :-)

Gotta rush......
