- I second the motion for THINK C. Its debugger is great. You can view
- structures as a window listing field names and values (choice of formats -
- hex, decimal, string, etc.) Then when a structure contains a pointer
- or a handle, you can de-reference by double-clicking. This brings
- up another window for the structure that points to... and so on.
- Great for the maze of Mac structures containing pointers to
- structures containing ....
