The Debugger Session Scenario 

The following explains the scenario under which the sample debugger
session runs.
________________________________________________________________________
|You're developing a program to read and process rainfall data.        |
|Proceeding in stages, you're developing the user input section and    |
|the portion that fills in an array with data from the rainfall        |
|file.                                                                 |
|                                                                      |
|During tests, you've encountered program aborts with messages         |
|indicating that access to memory outside your program's allotment has |
|occurred.  This type of error most frequently results from bad        |
|pointer arithmetic or bad array subscripts, especially in a loop.     |
|This program does no explicit pointer arithmetic, so you've           |
|decided to use HP Symbolic Debugger to check the loops in your        |
|program.                                                              |
