But why then did I receive the suggestion to do "gvd --debugger=dbx"??
And why is there a menu-switch in gvd to select a new debugger and in 
particular dbx? Whichever other debugger than plain gdb is supported 
by gvd? I will check the sources and see how the format is, though I 
have no Ada95 experience. I would prefer if someone already 
acquainted with gvd would do the trick, but I presume that, like all 
open source projects, gvd is critically dependent on the willingness 
of its users to contribute to the development. What if I promise to 
send a good bottle of whisky (or cognac for the frenchmen) on succes? 
Would any of you receiving this message be willing to help implement 
dbx-compatibility of gvd? In the mean time I'll see what I can do.

Thanks,

Arjan
