I've just started to use TPW. I might be able to save some people some
grief. The debugger doesn't work in anything but VGA mode (or perhaps
EGA/CGA). I have an SVGA monitor + herc setup. The readme describes
only very vaguely that you need to have a dual monitor setup. Setting
this up is itself vaguely described in Appendix C of the Degbuuger
manual, where it describes the operation of the program that
configures TDW.

Two monitor debugging works with SVGA (recommended because the cost of
the additional monitor is very low), but still kills the mouse.
FixArrow does correct that problem, though. Single monitor debugging
with SVGA kills the display: my monitor can't synch on the signal, and
I have to get out of windows to correct the problem.

My comments: the whole thing looks real slick (even including the
debugger problem), but as I haven't written a single character of
code, take that for what it's worth. It takes a *lot* less space than
the C6+SDK setup (I saved ~1.5M of space by deleting C6+SDK and adding
TPW.)
