From: Todd.Kueny@CMU-CS-G.ARPA Is there a general purpose program monitor (say, similar to the monitor stuff under UNIX) available for VMS? We have several large programs made up of assembler, C, and other awful stuff which we need to monitor. A simple PC histogram would be okay. Does such a thing exist? Thanks -Todd K.

I'm pretty sure that there is a profiler for VMS available from DECUS - it's quite good, and uses the DEBUG traceback records to give you module-name, routine and line-number. Actually, I'm not certain that this package was ever submitted to DECUS, but we did have it in-house. Also, there was a very strong rumor that VMS V4 would have profiling tools available also. Get someone who's going to DECUS to ask the people wearing DEC badges about this....
