Well the BC++ debugger does run when windows is running, but it is
not actually a windows application, its more like a DOS application
that is being very friendly with windows. It runs full screen and looks
and feels exactly like it does running under DOS. I don't know exactly what
they have done, but it is NOT a windows App therefore it is not display
independent like a windows App. I actually tried to run it while
in 800x600 mode, it runs fine... But windows is screwed up when you exit
as the video mode has been changed to character mode not graphics, and windows
doesn't realise this and therefore doesn't reset the 800x600 mode.

Still its a lot better than no debugger at all!! its even better than
running a debugger on a separate system (Which you can still do).


	Still playing so can't review it yet.....
