| Not that I am aware of. I wanted to see how SGI did some things last
year and I couldn't find a machine in the company, never mind the
software to try.
We would be interested in your results. What we have heard under the
guise of marketing hype, is the SGI debugger is much more eye-catching,
with neat-o bells and whistles. Whether it actually does more or not
is unknown.

| 946.2 | We have to know? | SWAM1::POIANI_MI | | Fri May 02 1997 14:45 | 6 |
| I don't understand how we can build and develop products without
knowing the competition?
Who is the product manager for our Ladebug/CASE tools?
|
| 946.3 | Maybe a third party like TotalView? | SMURF::PETERT | rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty | Fri May 02 1997 19:02 | 19 |
| I'm sure that SGI has a very impressive debugger and that we do not
compare well. You have to remember that they are orientated towards
visualization and graphics. The tools they have to do that are
comparible to AVS if you are familar with that product. I used to
work with the company that eventually became AVS and got to play
around with plugging things together to get various visual
representations of data. You can do some pretty amazing things and
as a debugger person, I could envision how it would be fairly straight
forward to plug some of the visualization stuff right into the
debugger, which, from the few ads I've seen, is probably what they are
doing. I would not want to base a sale on the comparison of the
two debuggers unless you wanted to restrict it simply to the ability
to handle languages.
I don't see FUSE adding a lot to this, but it may be somewhat more
comparible.

| 946.4 | What about base functionality? | SWAM1::POIANI_MI | | Sat May 03 1997 11:06 | 5 |
| Visualization is one thing... kind of flashy. I am looking to see if
our debugger can at least do most if not all of the SGI's debugging
capabilities.

| Tim,
We have an SGI box here in UNX. If the debugger is bundled with base
system then we have it. We might have it even if it's not. You
could try using it accross the network (might be some font issues to
work through though). Send mail to [email protected].
