Dbx help docs in HTML I dredged up an ancient script from an older releases of dbx, and created an HTML version of the dbx help from Sun Studio 11.  (Dbx HTML help)  I'll file an RFE to include this in the next release of Sun Studio.  Hopefully we can publish the ksh script that generates it, since it runs inside dbx to generate the output.  We could use some more examples of how to write dbx-ksh scripts.

Very nice. However, some of the links seem to be broken (e.g. "help event specification" link). Now that I have no choice but to use gdb, sometimes miss dbx's wonderful features but that's for later...

Thanks Seongbae! I tweaked the script again so the event spec stuff works. I'm sure there are other bugs, but it's improved now.
