It's also unfriendly, unintuitive and just doesn't work properly. My project involves two sets of sources in different folders. If two files have the same name this really screws SADE. Also when highlighting code SADE frequently highlights the wrong text. Compared to the debuggers that SYMANTEC produce all I can say is SADE sucks! If it wasn't for the fact that Apple are paying for this project I would have thrown out MPW long ago.

I have had err, well, a sneak look at the SADE that has been released with MPW 3.1-Beta, and in my opinion it seemed much faster than SADE 1.0. Thank goodness. I understand the comments about its lack of intuitiveness and unfriendliness, but I suspect it's a case of "to get to know it is to like it"-- when I have finally had the opportunity to use it for real over a period of time, AND to customize it with some appropriate scripts, I think I'll like it a lot more. It does come with some scripts to help those who know the Macsbug commands (which I don't very well, since I use and like TMON). I have no familiarity with the THINK C debugger (though I may break down and get TC 4 one day for its class library), so I can't compare it to SADE. I have of course heard very good things about it. /JBL = Nets: levin@bbn.com | or {...}!bbn!levin | POTS: (617)873-3463 |
