Was is supposed to work? I can't say that is does because I don't generally debug that way. As I said, you blame the debugger when, in fact, it is the style of debugging you employ that is causing you problems. Delphi promotes a break often style of debugging. Utilise the call stack to trace the code path, but set break points to inspect variables. This is how I have always worked and this is how I feel comfortable working. F7/F8/F9, the Evaluate/Modify and the call stack is all that is needed. > > debugger is the thing I always miss in other IDE's, especially VS.NET 2003. > > Hmm, from what I've heard, the debugger in Visual Studio (6?) is *way* more > advanced than the one in BCB, and that one's better than Delphi's.

Slooooooower on a PDA for example. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
