Hi!
	If it's a loadable device driver, you'll need to 
debug it using WDEB386, which comes with your Windows 3.1 SDK,
a serial port, and a terminal of some sort.  In other words,
you won't be able to use Codeview.
It won't be as easy as debugging with Codeview since a driver
is a different sort of DLL.

There's a third party product called NU-MEGA Soft-ICW/W which is 
reputed to be good.   Nu-Mega's number is 603-889-2386.

	Best,
	Robert
