I4GL Interactive Debugger was first released in about 1987, or maybe
1988 - just about the same time as MS Powerpoint version 1 (see history
presentation at http://www.bitbetter.com/powertips.htm). I doubt that
many presentations were developed about I4GL-ID simply because it
effectively pre-dates the widespread use of Powerpoint.

One of the interesting tricks to demonstrate (if you have a big enough
hunk of real estate on your screen) would be two windows side by side or
slightly overlapping, one for the application window and the other for
the debugger control window. ID has some powerful value display
features, and permits you to hack variables on the fly. It is in many
ways a very clever program even today.
