Does anyone know why dbx on the 4D systems does not support the 'call' capability? On the 3000 IRIS systems this was very helpful when debugging to call utility routines for printing state descriptions etc. without having to recompile and link and run again. Are there ways to getthis functionlity on the 4D IRIS that I am not aware of? If you can come up with any suggestions thanks alot. James Cerrato

On the 3000 IRIS systems this was very helpful when debugging That capability is in dbx as of the 3.2 release of IRIX. One can call a function using the ``ccall'' statement (for functions not returning anything), or as a function call in an expression (typically in a ``print'' statement). Regards, [ David B.
