How would I go about this, before I buy a serial card and cable? Would: GDB myprog < com2: > com2: work? It'd be a bit awkward that DOS level IO from my app might get redirected (do exception dumps go to stdout?), although my software is mostly graphical with custom keyboard handlers and all that (thus the snaziness of remote debugging!) The GDB dox say little about this, other than that the debuggee shares stdout and stdin... it'd be kinda cool if this could be changed... Thanx, ABW -- I have become... Comfortably numb... Alaric B.
