I'm sorry I seem to have greatly offended you.  If you would take the time
to read what I said, you would have understood that since I have trouble
using debug32, I am hardly qualified to write documentation on it.  I do
have the time to write said documentation, despite also having a day job.
I would be gald to do so I if knew how to use the #$%@# thing.  It's too
difficult, and frankly the "help" messages aren't very helpful.  I have
tried several times, but almost always I just give up, recompile the code
under Microsoft C, and use CodeView to debug.  I hardly expected you or
DJ to write some guide to debug32, but I did hope that maybe someone else
would be willing to do so who actually understood it.  A handful of examples
would really be nice.  You might keep in mind,  Alan, that what seems easy to
you may not seem so easy to someone else.  By the way, I have read the docs
on debug32 and I bet I'm not the only one who has trouble using it.
