For information only, please note that gdb-ui.el (CVS Emacs) currently uses CLI output from the following commands: info source info breakpoints where info threads info registers info locals disassemble info frame I plan to put a more basic version that uses GDB/MI into CVS as soon as Emacs is released, whenever that might be. Andrew, if you are planning to change CLI output could you please convey this to Richard Stallman, so that there can be some co-ordination of schedule between GDB and Emacs. Nick
