 Other windows
applications seem to run on anything as long as it has a windows driver..
whats the deal with the debugger?
----------

The debugger flips the screen to a character mode for the debugger interface,
and back to graphics for when Windows is free-running.

I guess it was easier to do it this way than to start from scratch with
a windowed debugger interface.  The new single-screen CodeView does the
same.

cheers...........

BTW: I don't know if I'm risking problems, but the debugger *will* run
if you have a 1024x768 driver set up, although there is some temporary
screen corruption as it flips.
