The debugger was called RAID (Realtime Automatic(?) Interactive Debugger). There was something (I'm not sure if it was the OS or the language) called CRASH (Computerized Realtime Applications SHop), and there was yet another acyronym for the language (or OS). If I root around in my old stuff, I can probably resurrect it from paper. --- Richard
