- I've just been looking it over for the last couple of days and after

- Agreed, although I have a spurious branch in the builder that is not

- Haven't really worked with the debugger a lot, but it is MUCH MUCH MUCH
- better than dbx.

- Couldn't reproduce your error. Are you using the RCS code that shipped
- with FUSE?

- Tried the cross-referencer. Nifty utility. Could not reproduce your
- error.

- Haven't seen this one but have brought up the call graph browser quite
- a bit.
-
- Some general questions though:
- What version are you running? Are you using the MOTIF window manager?
- Have you tried using the RCS and MAKE programs which came with FUSE?
