README.debugger
---------------

Hello everybody!
We adapted the gnu debugger "gdb" and its X extension "xxgdb" to work
like a Parallaxis-III source level debugger. The X version also has
additional graphics features for examining vector data and displaying
processor activity status.

Besides binaries for SUN OS, we provide all source code for you to
compile on your system. For this you need the original "gdb" tar files
PLUS our Parallaxis "diffs" files.

Anybody who doesn't know how to apply diff files to an original should
have a look at the man page of 'patch' for details or simply type
    cd <whereever your GDB 4.13 sources are>
    patch -p1 < <whereever you put gdb-4.13.diffs>
or:
    gzip -dc <whereever you put gdb-4.13.diffs.gz> | patch -p1

    cd <whereever your XXGDB 1.08 sources are>
    patch -p1 < <whereever you put xxgdb-1.08.diffs>
or:
    gzip -dc <whereever you put xxgdb-1.08.diffs.gz> | patch -p1

To build GDB look into the GDB directories for further information.
The same is for XXGDB. For XXGDB there is a extra README.xp3gdb about
special features of this GUI for GDB.

Have fun.  Nov. 1995

PS:
When you have to get patch first, have a look for patch-2.1.tar.gz
at different GNU archives.
Below is the beginning of the man page of 'patch':

NAME

SYNOPSIS
     patch [options] [origfile [patchfile]] [+  [options]  [orig-
     file]]...

     but usually just
