	Remote source debugger for VxWorks

The VxGDB remote source debugger option to the VxWorks real-time
operating system will allow transparent source code access from a host
system to programs and processes running on remote VxWorks targets.  The
new source-level debugging option is based on the Free Software
Foundation's GNU Debugger (gdb).

Key features of the source level debugger include simultaneous debugging
of any number of tasks on multiple VxWorks targets, ability to attach to
any running task, ability to run multiple copies of the debugger
simultaneously, support for multiprocessing and networked resource
debugging, and a graphical user interface.  The initial version of the
VxGDB will debug 680X0 targets from Sun-3 and Sun-4 hosts and SPARC
targets from Sun-4 hosts.  ($5000, includes Free Software Foundation
transfer fee [sic!] and VxWorks interface -- available 3rd qtr.)

[ Note that if you think $5K is too much, you are free to band together
with some other VxWorks customers, have one of you buy it, split the
cost, and spread it around.  The GNU Public License does not set what
you can charge -- except that if you sell binaries, you must sell sources 
to "any third party free (except for a nominal charge for distribution)".
If you sell sources without binaries, or sources-and-binaries together,
you can charge whatever you want.  --gnu@toad.com ]

 Boycott the census!  In 1942, the Census Bureau told the Army which block
every Japanese-American lived on, so they could be hustled to internment camps.
