David Warren told me that he is using dbx and TotalView with DEC
FORTRAN with no problems.
Dave Newbold told me that he is using TotalView with DEC FORTRAN
with minor problems.
Pat Lampert reminded me to check with DEC for new beta prereleases of
decladebug 4 (we are presently using decladebug 4.0-9).
So now I'm trying TotalView with a demo license and it seems to work
pretty well, but I'm having some of the same problems that Dave
Newbold mentioned. I'm working with bbn to resolve them. (They can be
visited at www.bbn.com.) If I get a combo that works, I'll post an
update.
