The Turbo Debugger for windows is NOT actually a windows application the way Notepad is. You DO start it up by double clicking the icon and you don't need a PIF file like you do with conventional DOS programs. So Turbo Debugger is sort of half way in between a conventional DOS application and a windows application. When you fire up TD for W, it runs in full screen and looks like the "regular" Turbo Debugger, that is it is rows and columns of text, not a windows program with a main window etc. However, it definitely debugs your windows code and let's you switch between your windows app that's being debugged and the TD screen with a key-stroke (can't remember if it was Alt-F5, or what). Borland states in their docs that the "regular" TD supports cga, ega, vga, super VGA, and so forth. But to use TD for Windows in VGA mode you must stay with the conventional (i.e. MS supplied) VGA driver for windows, not one supplied by your card vendor. -- A new world record in the javalin throw / / / I ------------------------------------------------- David Sampson Harris Corporation dsampson@x102a.ess.harris.com Gov't Aerospace Systems Divison uunet!x102a!dsampson Melbourne, Florida -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
