- Hi Duncan
-
- In your list of essential X programs under "programming things"
- there is an entry "ups" that is labeled as an
- (All singing(!) all dancing debugger!). I got a copy of ups.Z from
- export and it turned out to be some sort of mail delivery program
- for files.
-
- "ups is a system (actually just two programs) for delivering files between
- users. It works just like mail, except that accepting delivery implies
- the movement of files."
-
- I have been looking for a more effective debugger (better than dbx) for
- quite some time and I wonder if the label "ups" is a typo, or if the
- description is incorrect.
-
- Thanks
