  12. There are two facilities in UNIX V rel 4 that will help in 
  13. evaluating a test. Ctrace and  lprof.
  14. Ctrace will trace a program giving lvalues for each statement 
  15. executed.
  16.  
  17. Lprof will display the frequency of execution 
  18. of statements or the statements executed.
  19.  
  20. I find both ctrace and lprof useful in debugging and in 
  21. determining the coverage of a test.
