I remember seeing a demo of PDB at the British Telecom Software Engineering Centre at Glasgow running on a Sun workstation around 1993.
I contacted Arthur van Hoff (who went on to Java fame) a few years ago and he put me in touch with Tim Niblett who still has some source code, but if I recall correctly, didn't feel that he had the authority to release it.

I believe that PDB came out of the Turing Institute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Institute https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turing_Institute which sadly closed in 1994.
It would be great to resurrect it, but we only seem to have the binaries.
- geocar 10y agoCan PDB compile PDB? It might not be as useful as the source code, but it would at least open the program up to being run by people without sun4 or rs6k machines.
