I haven't found a viable debugger for Modula-3.<BR>
Could be better now that I'm on Debian 5.0 though.<BR>
gdb is now good, eveything is void*.<BR>
VisualStudio/cdb/windbb are no good due to lack of CodeView information.<BR>
I'll try m3gdb again, since upgrading to Debian 5.0.<BR>
I'm keen on generating good CodeView information because of this.<BR>

I use a debugger. There is never a need to put verbose debugging printouts into the source tree. They just litter the code.
