My version supports dual monitor mode, ie debug text to B/W monitor simultaneously with graphics to SVGA monitor. It would be useful if fsdb could be reconfigured to use two msdos boxes in windows; the debug text going to one dos box, simultaneously with the graphics output to another windows dos box - switchable between dos box window and fullscreen. Has anyone achieved this already, and if so would you be willing to make the solution available ? If this hasn't been solved, what would be required and what problems could occur ? I toyed with the use of dwm121 or bigdesk - multiple virtual screen utilities for windows, available in simtel mirrors path .../win3/desktop, but that offers no solution. Some combination of this and/or the multiple dos box idea seems a likley solution. Wouldn't it be nice if debugging didn't require two monitors in the new world of multitasking operating systems. I haven't the facilties to do _windows_ programming myself, isn't that a swear word around djgpp circles ? maybe oneday :-) Chris
