They're all free. At least, I've never heard of any commercial debugger
being able to deal with DJGPP's debug information.

The debuggers we have:

1) gdb  -- the Gnu DeBugger: big, powerful, commandline-oriented

1a) RHIDE -- contains an interface to gdb that feels much like the
             Borland IDE's integrated debuggers do

2) fsdeb -- the FullScreen DEBugger. Look&Feel of Borland's standalone
            TurboDebug. Displays mixed source and assembly

3) edebug32 -- vaguely like classical 'debug'. Essentially stopped being
               actively supported.

You already have fsdeb and edebug32 as part of the djdev*.zip package.
GDB and RHIDE come in their own packages.
