  My favorite trace monitor is Xab3.  All I have to do is add an include
  file and and link to -lxab3 instead of -lpvm3.  I believe that Xab
  can be found on netlib.  Another plus to Xab is that it will translate
  files to ParaGraph format, and that package seems to offer a lot of
  good features.  

  My complaints on Xab is that you cannot rewind.  For paragraph, I wish
  there was an easy way to zoom in and out of complex tasks.  If you
  look at the KSR tracing and profiling tool, they do this very nicely.
