Most of the people here use Codeview with a product called MagicCVW. MagicCVW
allows Codeview to run in a separate virtual machine on any 386. Because of
this it only uses up 8K of the DOS memory used by Windows.
I use Periscope (Periscope IV although Periscope I is more than enough for
Windows debugging as you cannot use most of the hardware features without
fixing segments in memory - if something moves the hardware breakpoints don't
get updated (the software ones do though)) for my Windows debugging.
We have found that there are times when Codeview will not work (i.e. it
hangs the system) and Periscope will and vice versa. I think it is worth
while to have both debuggers available to developers.
MagicCVW can be purchased from:
