840.0. "dxladebug breakpoint buttons don't work with shareable objects" by CXXC::MJHANS (Matthew Hanselman, DEC C) Fri Feb 14 1997 10:58

dxladebug 4.0-30

The breakpoint buttons next to the source don't work when you're within a
shareable object file.

Follow the procedure below.  Within main(), the breakpoints next to the source
work fine.  If you step in to share(), the breakpoint buttons simply flash when
you press them.

Since all of the development compilers are linked this way, this really hampers
development efforts.
