Cygnus just announced in a News Release the availability of a GUI
(Graphical User Interface) for GDB, with the Unix version being available
January 1st 1995 and the MS_WINDOWS version on April 2, 1995.
                         ^^^^^^^^^^
Are you the one supposed to do this Windows GUI ? if yes, then this
announcement seems prematured... Also the unix version of this GUI uses
TK, it would make sense to do the same for the Windows version (?)

Your comments are welcome.
