The Python idea is more of a cute hack than a really > serious thing. I've never really used it but ISTR that Solaris dbx had this feature and there all you needed to do when excution was stopped, was edit and compile a file, myfile.c to myfile.o say, then do "fix myfile.o" followed by "continue" and execution would continue with the new myfile.o patched into the executable. This all worked from the command line. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
