Smalltalk Professional Debug Package
From EDM2
An add-on package for SmallTalk develop environments created by the Crafted Smalltalk company in 1995. The package provides several debugging enhancements to the and VisualWorks, ObjectWorks\Smalltalk and ENVY/Smalltalk development environments. The SPDP package was apparently available for all OS versions of the supported packages, meaning that it was probably supplied as a Smalltalk image.
