GUI interface to debug programs

[JensBNielsen]

I sometimes use a trace (see below) to debug my program.

Has anyone developed a nice GUI to read such a file (in a certain format, of course), so you can browse the tree searched, see the chess positions, the variables, what has happened etc?

That would be great!

Best, Jens

There used to be a commercial utility named Chant written by Andrei Fortuna. I imagine it's defunct now. I never used it.
