Dear all, I am conducting an informal survey of "debugger usage within the object oriented community" as part of a reserach programme. I am particularly interested in: what tools are used, how often they are used and how useful they are perceived to be. I would be very grateful if anyone out there who uses a debugger, *no matter how obscure*, to help them with OO programming would reply to me (spare the net please) at the address below. All I need is brief answers (1 line each) to these questions:- i) What debugging tools do you use? ii) Which company produced these products? iii) How often do you use them (all the time / emergencies only)? iv) What do you think of them? Many thanks. I shall summarize to the net if the response merits it.

Initial reponse was good, but may attempts to replay failed becuase of a bug in a mailor (at my end) that sent my message out with the *wrong* return address. This was *our* fault, sorry. The bug has been fixed now and I would be very grateful if anyone who tried to reply and failed, would try again. If if any doubt please use the return addresses below. Many Thanks. **************************************************************************** FROM : Jan Andrew Purchase | Snail: Room 208, PhD Lab., at : pyr1.cs.ucl.ac.uk | Computer Science Dept., | University College, | London, UK.
