Larry asked

<<Will it interface to the regular VMS debugger or will one have
to use the GNAT-specific debugger?>>

Digital decided that they preferred to have GDB be the primary debugger.
This is because they do not want to make the necessary changes to the
regular VMS debugger to fully support Ada 95. However, we chose to use
compatible debugging formats, so in fact the VMS debugger works pretty
well (it just does not understand as much as it should about GNAT),
while GDB will be tailored much more completely for GNAT and Ada 95.
