I'm in the process of implementing the GDB remote debugging stuff in the debugger. It works fairly well, I can set breakpoints, single step, disassemble, look at stack frames, continue, etc. I took the path of getting gcc, gas and gld to work so that I can use the dbx symbol table stuff. This minimized the amount of hacking I had to do to gdb. If anyone else is interested i can provide diffs at a later date (both to gdb and the debugger). This is all based on gdb3.5. Jordan and I both plan to use gdb in the future.

An update on the status of the remote GDB stuff. It now works quite well, but I'm still not completely satisfied with it. For instance, if the remote process is already running and I give gdb a new run command, gdb doesn't do the right thing to start the remote process running again. I've almost got this working, but not 100%. Since I'm going on vacation for 4 weeks on the 17th I won't be able to do any more work on this until mid-January. I'll keep the group posted on the status. Gary
