I tried wsdb after grabbing it from the STORE. I was not impressed. It is
basically just sdb in a resizable window. I am a vi user but the best
debugging environment around for the unix-pc is running gdb 3.5 from within
gnu emacs. Of course gdb (available from the osu-cis archives already
compiled) runs just fine without gnu emacs, but the pair together is really
nice. This little arrow follows your source code in one window as you step
through it in gdb. I know its alot of work getting gnu emacs running just for
a good debugger, but in my opinion, its well worth it.

I'm not a total convert to gnu emacs but it has some real advantages in
this case.
