I'm with Roland here. I gave up using debuggers many, many years ago as just not being a tools I found particularly useful. I could pretty much always debug code faster 'by hand' than most programmers could with a debugger. Go figure. Do I think a debugger for CF would be well-received? Yes, a lot of CFers seem to want this (and many seem to miss the semi-functional debugger that was previously available pre-MX). Do I think that a debugger for CF is a high priority? No, I think that there are many, many more enhancements that are more important. Should New Atlanta build a debugger for BlueDragon? Only they can say, based on the feedback from their customers. ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
