Actually, I mis-led you on one point.  The Turbo Debugger for windows
is NOT actually a windows application the way Notepad is.  You DO
start it up by double clicking the icon and you don't need a PIF file
like you do with conventional DOS programs.  So Turbo Debugger is sort
of half way in between a conventional DOS application and a windows
application.

When you fire up TD for W, it runs in full screen and looks like the
"regular" Turbo Debugger, that is it is rows and columns of text, not
a windows program with a main window etc.  However, it definitely
debugs your windows code and let's you switch between your windows app
that's being debugged and the TD screen with a key-stroke (can't
remember if it was Alt-F5, or what).

Borland states in their docs that the "regular" TD supports cga, ega,
vga, super VGA, and so forth.  But to use TD for Windows in VGA mode
you must stay with the conventional (i.e. MS supplied) VGA driver for
windows, not one supplied by your card vendor.
