ZDT is quite copyrighted. It is available for some fee from Lifeboat
(sorry, that is the only place I have seen it.) I bought it a while ago,
and I recommend that you attempt to find something else first. Although
it does have some nice features (block compare, block move, etc.) and
I use it for those functions, it is a real pain to use for debugging because
it formats the input. Instead of figuring out that 1F is 001F, you are
expected to type the whole 4 digit number in. If you forget, it doesn't
work. In order to list a segment of code, it makes you specify a range.
Thus, you have to do the computation to figure out how much memory would
fit on a screen. I don't believe that I am overly lazy in not wanting to
have to think about such things when my energy should be spent debugging
my code, not guessing at memory ranges!
