I have used the sample prog that "comes with" the
dde debugger. It's in a file called average.C in
/opt/langtools/dde/examples just as the manual says.

I compiled it as so:

aCC -g -o average average.C

and I then invoke the debugger so:

dde average

It starts up, it shows the source code, it seems to have
a break point at the first executable line.

But in the line in the debugger GUI where it says
executable, it says a.out instead of average.

And it won't respond to clicking on Step.

If I change the name of the executable to a.out, and
invoke it as dde a.out, then it comes up with a.out in
the debugger, and happily debugs it.

How can I convince dde that it is debugging the
executable it is debugging?
