hi again,

Just wondering if there's a way to set breakpoints and step in/out of code with Cygwin? I'm trying to decipher the very large C style functions and getting lost along the way.

I used visual studio years ago and found the debugging tools to be very useful. Is there anything like that for cygwin?

much appreciated!

Thanks for the link! I'm also going to look at using the Eclipse IDE.
