This "visual" debugger worked very well, and I found a couple problems and fixed them in the SourceNavigator code. Unfortunately, I could only get the Active State Aspen release to work, and after the one month trial period, it cost $450. (this was under windows) TclPro was released under GPL after having been a commercial product. The source code for TclPro is in SourceForge, but I haven't been able to get my Win2K machine configured to gain access to the CVS server. Looks like there is an easy way to configure if you're using Win95. I've been meaning to try this from home, but I haven't had the time. I highly reccomend TclPro's debugger. I tried version 1.4, which there are freely available binaries, but I couldn't get it to work. There isn't a free windows release yet. Let me know if you have any questions. I love SN, and I'd like to enhance it. I read all about Tcl, TK, and iTk just to work on it. I'm stymied by the lack of good debugging options for Tcl. TclPro is very good, but the SourceForge community doesn't have a windows release yet.
