Wow!  ddbg has become much more awesome since I last tried it! This is 
actually really usable now!  0.1b was crashing on me (invalid utf-8 
error) when my program opened a Window, so I had given up using it for 
now, but just tried 0.1.1b and works like a charm.


Here are a couple of minor issues:

* bool seems to print out as a string of 1 character with ascii value of 
0 or 1.  So with DOS codepage 437, that means false is a smiley face, 
and true is the reverse smiley face.

->= texobj.tex.uploaded

* ubyte[] seems to try to print as a string too.  I get "Invalid UTF-8" 
from some image data stored as ubyte[].  ubyte[] should probably be 
printed out using the same format as 'dm'.


* Can you wrap the info printed out by "help" to something like 78 
columns?  On a standard 80 column console the help info is very hard to 
read.  Similarly the format for 'dm' seems to be exactly 81 columns, 
which is unfortunate.

both are due to the CV types DMD assigns to these symbols. bugzilla
#1104 and #1107

 * Can you wrap the info printed out by "help" to something like 78


will do - next release
