The ups debugger by Mark Russell of University of Kent. It used x11 or sunview. IIRC it
used a separate graphics library built directly on top of x11 (or sunview) that provided
variable scrolling etc. scrolling speed and direction depended on the distance you dragged
the mouse pointer from its initial position. You could click on any source like and add a
break or custom code in interpreted C. You could click on the data structure window and
follow linked list structures etc. The last version was 3.38 in 2003. I don’t think it
works with anything more modern than gcc3. The nicest debugger I ever used.

came from the UK. And maybe it wasn't X11, maybe it was Sunview?
Whatever it was the author didn't like the bundled scrollbars and had
their own custom made one.
You could set breakpoints like a debugger and then go look around at state.
Does anyone else remember that app and what it was called?
