It does a lot of the things that gdb-ui.el does (which uses "-ann=3" and the "interpreter mi" command) but its probably a bit flaky and it doesn't reside in the Emacs CVS repository yet. It needs CVS versions of both GDB and Emacs. To download it, or find out more, please visit http://www.nick.uklinux.net. In the long term I think this must be the right way forward, its just taken a long time to get there. Nick
