Come on, James, in your previous mail you talked about what you had to do to 
make the debugger "semi-work" and that five minutes would be enough to add this 
knowledge to the docs. You seemed to know exactly what you were missing. I was 
not suggesting that you write about things you don't know.

You tried to work with FreeRide, a program that is provided "as is". You found 
things that should be improved. Now what? You wrote about the problems here in 
the mailing list, but unfortunately this thread is about windows debuggers, not 
especially about the FreeRide debugger. On the other hand, you could have given 
feedback directly to the FreeRide team in the form of a bug report, a patch, or 
a feature request. What do you think is the better way to improve the current 
situation?
