There are two 16-bit IDE's.  To debug a 16-bit app I must use one.  The "Scwmn16.exe" programs runs fine.  The "Scw.exe" program does not.  It offers this error message:

"Symantec C++ requires Win32s to be installed on your system before Symantec C++ can be executed...."

Now under Windows 98 this condition should already be met, i.e. Win32s is implicit in the operating system (unlike Windows 3.1).  How then can I run "Scw.exe" and do I need to run it if I can already run "Scwmn16.exe"?

Thanks,

Mark

Mark,

You do not need to run scw.exe.
scw.exe does a couple of minor checks and than fires either:
scwmn32.exe, scwmn16.exe or scwmn16s.exe.
You can start either of these directly if you want to.
The cool thing is if you start scwmn32.exe directly you can actually start more than one at the same time and <Alt+Tab> between project...
