GCC uses the associated GDB debugger, which will allow you to step through the code. GDB is a command line tool, but there is a graphical front end called Insight, implemented in TCL-TK, to make like easier for the GUI users. GCC and GDB are part of the standard Cygwin distribution. > This is the first time I've heard the Borland > C++ builder recommened for this building Palm apps.

Or > is it able to target multiple systems? The Borland compiler was recommended specifically for playing with the Plucker desktop, which is an X86 based product. (Note that the version mentioned is an older one, offered free under Borland's "community" liscense, _not_ the current C++ Builder product. The free version is available from: http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/freecompiler/. A link from that page leads you to a download page for an oldfer version of their Turbo Debugger, which is here: http://www.borland.com/bcppbuilder/turbodebugger/. I don't believe Borland's compiler targets 68K systems. To develop for the Palm itself, you would probably have to get GCC, and build a cross-compiler tageting the 68K platform. > Tim ______ Dennis
