My only recomendation is this; if you want to use the Intel ICE, then use the Intel software tools. They were designed to work together. If you want to use MSC or Watcom or Turbo or whatever, then look for other ICEs that can support one or more of the above. Many of the DOS-based C compilers can produce debugging information that can be mangled into formats understandable by some of the third party ICEs (or so I've been told). Mixing Intel debugging hardware with someone elses software tools is like mixing oil and water.
