Well, what my code does is it keeps a running log. The CFAS debugger doesn't
do that.
Also, in mine, you can spec all the variables you want to keep track of.
The TRONNY app serves two functions; one is as a debugging tool during
development, the other is as an application flow monotor while the app is in
use.
What it boils down to is that TRONNY is much like doing in-line comments,
except that the comments get written to a DB when they are encountered.
