Before leaving on vacation I replied to sshirk@usrsa-major.SPDCC.COM who
had sent me mail regarding debuggers for the MS Windows environment.  I came
back from vacation today and found that the mail I had sent had bounced.  I
hope this is not too late to be of some help.

We use only Windows 2.1/286.  We have a copy of the 386 version of Windows
but I have never tried to use periscope with it.

Although it is true that the Periscope I board is used only for the debugger
software and the symbol tables I highly recommend getting it.  Using the
Periscope I board means that Periscope will not use any of the memory normally
available to DOS and Windows and it protects the debugger software from random
memory overwrites.  Without the Periscope I board the Periscope debugger is
the same as the Codeview debugger.  With the Periscope I board it is much more
useful then Codeview (even with expanded (or is it extended?) memory). IMHO

MagicCVW only work on 386 machines so she probably did think you meant the PC.
I do not know if MagicCVW works with Windows 386.  It probably does not as you
have to install a specific memory manager that works in cooperation with
MagicCVW.  But I could be wrong.

I hope this helps.  Enjoy the holidays.  I'm out of here for 10 days!  If you
run into any problems or have any questions feel free to drop me a line.

P.S.  Technical support at Periscope (Bret Salter) is excellent!
