How do I sample and profile my Watcom C/C++ 10.0 dos4gw program on a 
machine other than the one I am developing it on?  I put my executable 
(testwarp.exe) and wsamprsi.exe on a floppy, put the floppy in another 
machine, go to the A: prompt, and type "wsamprsi testwarp.exe".  It runs 
and samples the program as it should, then I copy the testwarp.smp file 
into the directory on the development machine where I have all the files 
for that project.  When I run the profiler on testwarp.smp, though, it 
wants to use A:testwarp.exe (on the floppy) as the image file, and the 
profile only gives me the lowest level (assembly code) with no source 
code modules.  I can't get it to look at the files it needs to on the 
development machine to give me a full source code profile.

Surely there must be some fairly straightforward way to sample a program 
on other machines, since one of the main uses of the sampler/profiler is 
to optimise for speed on several machines.

Any help or ideas appreciated,
  Marty
