Well, the replay debugger for Caml relies on the Unix system call fork(), which Windows doesn't implement natively. > Would it be possible if we use Cygwin tools? Yes, because Cygwin provides an emulation of fork(). Actually, the working version of the OCaml sources include a Cygwin port where the debugger works (apparently). If you feel like beta-testing, you can get it from http://camlcvs.inria.fr/. The next release of OCaml will include Cygwin binaries. - Xavier Leroy
