Our program XRAY is superior in many ways to default DB; we write the values of
Save/Gets to a file at user-determined checkpoints. Your program runs
normally; it doesn't pause at every action, it executes normally; but while it
runs, XRAY extracts from it a large amount of detailed information, sufficient to
pinpoint the cause of any problem. XRAY is part of XYWWWEB.U2.
