debugging under linux

| I have to debug a program at the assembly level in linux
Does anyone know of a good debugger?
gdb is just too much work to use. My fingers hurt from
typing
disassemble
info all registers
at each step. Besides the disassembly listing is awful.
It writes negative numbers as unsigned offsets, so you get
0xFFFFFFF8 instead of -8, for instance.
I need something like the MSVC debugger for linux, i.e.
displaying the disassembly in one window, the registers
in another.
I can't automate this, since if I write it in a
"dbg procedure", the disassemble window will scroll, and
I can't see BOTH at the same time. The registers info is
too long so that it will scroll also.
I am ready to buy a commercial product if available.

You might want to check out ALD, Assembly Language Debugger. It's on
sourceforget at <http://ald.sourceforge.net/>. It is a very nice program
to use. Simple interface with all the options, and it's disassembly is
actually legible!

Y'know... There's a debugger with the (PD) "Causeway Dos Extender"
that's a lot like TD. It will only do it's own "Causeway" apps, at
present. I've often thought that it could probably be modified to an
open source TD-alike... for dos. For Linux, almost none of it would be
useable, but you *might* get a clue how to manage a TD-like UI from
it... if someone were so foolish as to attempt such a thing...
