=====BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE=====
The 3.35 release of the UPS debugger is now available. It is currently at
http://www.concerto.demon.co.uk/UPS/src/ups-3.35.tar.gz
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/devel/debuggers/ups-3.35.tar.gz
It is also available at other standard X11 sites, such as ftp.x.org. See
the UPS web site for details: http://www.concerto.demon.co.uk/UPS
For those unfamilar with UPS, it is an UNIX source level debugger for
C, C++ and Fortran, using X11. It is small and self contained, not layered
on any other debug code. For a comparartive description of UNIX debuggers
look at http://www.exe.co.uk/articles/articlepull.asp?page=jun00/unix.html.
Most testing has been done on Sun Solaris systems, but it should build
and work on various Linux flavors, such as Debian, Slackware and Red Hat,
as well as FreeBSD. There is a beta port for BSD/OS as well.
There is a known problem with using UPS on Red Hat 6.2 with the kde window
manager - it sometimes locks up, and kde must be killed in order free
the system. Anyone who could investigate this problem would be
appreciated.
