Well I think a programmer should be able to use whatever tools are available. Sounds like you would be totally stuck if you had no debugger available, and that would be unfortunate:-) Sure, if the debugger can solve your problem fine, but there are definitely occasions on which the "put line" style of debugging is useful. That's particularly true if the added debugging code is complex, and you have a debugger that does not allow for complex conditionals in breakpoints. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/
