Adam,

OK no problem, sorry for the misunderstanding.

I'm not a _very_ proeficient gdb user myself... On the other hand if you're
using dev-cpp debug mode to 'peek inside', you're using gdb :-) (ok, command
line is 1337 but well :-P)

You can set breakpoints with dev-cpp also, instead of putting a pause.

Indeed, I sure have heard many of these things, and agree we should choose
wisely, these being useful in some cases.

I know your pain when debugging someone else's code (my worst: crazy
indentation and one-letter variables....)
I have to use my Amulet of obfuscation, +15 insight :P

Have a good day,
Jonathan
