[comp.unix.wizards] using dbxtool to debug a curses application

Leisner.Henr@xerox.com (Marty) (02/25/90)

I'm stumped.

I want to use dbxtool to debug a curses application on a sun386i.

What I need is the application to run in its own screen and not in the dbx
command window so I can see what the application is doing without being
mixed up with debugger commands.

Seems reasonable enough.  How do I do it?

I had a similar problem when adding code to the VLSI cad tool MAGIC.
The solution is to have the program open a separate window. (See manual
for details. i.e., I forget how to do it.)
