- It isn't that different from dbx, and there are so many different varieties
- of dbx around anyway. IMO gdb is a much nicer debugger than most dbx's I have
- used, and it's got (pretty) good builtin help as well as some neat features
- (like tab completion). If you really want dbx, then you can always do:
- # cd /usr/local/bin ; ln -s `which gdb` dbx
- and be happy.
