I wouldn't call it a bug. Microsoft changed something in Windows 3.1
and the WINDEBUG.DLL that we licensed from them won't load under it.
I have uploaded our replacement DLL that should work with both WIndows
3.0 and 3.1 to the Simtel20 archives where it should appear just as
soon as the archive maintainer makes it public. If you are not a Turbo
Pascal programmer, look for the file TDWIN31.ZIP in pd:<msdos.turbo-c>
directory on wsmr-simtel20.army.mil or in corresponding directories on
wuarchive.wustl.edu and oak.oakland.edu. If you use Turbo Pascal for
Windows, look for TPWN31.ZIP in the pd:<msdos.turbopas> directory. It
contains the same DLL plus a number of TP units for Win 3.1.

I will also upload TI868.ZIP, which is an informational file on using
BC++ 3.0 with Windows 3.1, to the turbo-c subdirectory of the archives
as soon as I get a chance. You can also get that from the Borland toll
free techfax number which should be in the BC++ 3.0 documentation.

These files are interim measures until we release the BC++ update kit
for Windows 3.1, but they should suffice until then.
