What is not immediately obvious as that as near as I can tell, GVD as a
standalone
product is pretty dead. The good news is that the code that used to be part
of the standalone GVD has been (apparently) incorporated into GPS. The
integration
of debugging into GPS is actually pretty well done... The only downside is
that unlike some other products
there is no publicly available CVS version of GPS - just a tar archive of a
version several revs back.

Still, the "Academic" version of GPS is worth looking at - especially on
non-windows platforms.
