Someone put a message here asking about debugging with a PS/2.

I use a Model 70 and a pc running procomm+ attached to the com port.
That works ok.  I have 3mb of 'extented' memory so I have to go
through the win386 as a new command interpreter jazz the start
code view.  This is a real pain...  Besides, quite frequently the
machine hangs up, sometimes errors are printed to the screen which
are not in the manuals.  I have called Microsoft and then they usually
give a list of about 5-10 possible problems.  

Hence, I have taken a 3 month break from doing MS Windows development.
(We have 30,000 lines of code in Petroleum Enginerring Applications).

Forget everything I said before (snl), what I mean to say is that
I think MS Windows is somewhat nicer that programming in X (Xt,Xaw) with
the debugger and tools, although X is much more powerful, but the idea
of programming in environments that have bugs has burned me out for a while.

I do not like being a testing mechanism for an organization (especially
those who make money selling products).  My plans are to retire from windows
development; just until I get Windows 3.0 and Motif.  Then I will develop and
debug these products.
