Re: [RFA] enable software single step on alpha-osf


Here is a patch to update the NEWS file,
as suggested by Eli. I'm not very good at wording, so any suggestion for
improvement is more than welcome.

2002-08-17  Joel Brobecker  <brobecker@gnat.com>

        * NEWS: Add an entry regarding the improvement of the next/step
        operation on Alpha Tru64 multi-processor machines.

I am just realizing that I was probably not very clear... I am asking
for approval before I check this change in, in case the wording, or
maybe the way I organized this item in the NEWS file can be improved.
No one maintains the NEWS file. If you get no comments after a few days, it's likely probably ok.
