           I'm looking for an emacs workalike for dbxtool. For those who
           don't know, dbxtool is a window based front-end to the unix
           source-level debugger dbx. It runs on Suns.

           Dbxtool works by using dbx to step through the source files
           of a program being debugged, and allowing the reading and
           setting of program variables, etc. Dbxtool improves the
           interface, by making the interface screen oriented, marking
           the current line and break points with different symbols.

           Unfortunately, dbxtool has a lousy user interface, and isn't
           programmable. Is there an emacs mode that will do the same
           things?

Yes, there are several such interfaces. I just checked our local emacs-lisp
directory and found a dbx.el tool which I haven't tried. I've been
using the gnuemacs interface to gdb for some time and am quite happy
with it.

You should try both. Probably you can find them (and many other
elisp-programs) at tut.cis.ohio-state.edu via anon ftp.
