It probably works as advertised, but the new Turbo Debugger has the same (386)
mode built in.  It also has a mode wherein a small (~10k) tsr runs on the
target computer, and the full debugger runs on another pc connected via the
serial port.  This gives you the small memory usage advantage on your
present 286 or PC.  (ok, ok, you *do* have to have *2* computers...)

And the Turbo Debugger only costs $150 and they toss in Turbo C,
Turbo Assembler, and Turbo Pascal for free.  :-)

And oh yeah, it comes with a conversion program to convert EXEs with CV debug
information to Turbo Debugger format.

Kind of makes the whole question moot, eh?  Did I mention that the Turbo
Debugger is the best debugger I've ever used?  I've used CV a *lot*, and
it can't hold a candle to TD.
