Is it possible to debug DOS programs under Win9x?

Trying to follow the supplied tutorials (From CD), Using SCW32.EXE version 7.51, results in an error message in the output box...

"Warning: This debugger can only debug Win32 applications."

Using SCWMN16.EXE version 7.51 results in a dialog box:

"Cannot create DOS application window"

I assume that I must use the 16-bit version of the IDDE to do DOS development but I am not sure what I am missing.

Also, while following the tutorials, I discovered that I cannot create any new work spaces if there are 5 already existing... is this the limit?

SCWMN16.EXE is the one to use.
"Cannot create DOS application window" is a message that remind me something but i'm
sorry
i can't remember how i turn around.
Try to set "Debug application startup" option and see if it's better ?

I believe in an upgrade from 16 bit to 32 bit versions of the product, Symantec did away with the 16 bit debugger.  I am sure that Walter would know about this or at least would know someone that knows the full scooop. You had to upgrade in place from 7.21 to 7.5 or something like that to keep the files for 16 bit debugging.  If you did a fresh install of 7.5 or above, you lost that capability.  I don't know if the DM product rectified this situation.

Walter, could you shed more light on this?  And also straighten out any misinformation (unintended) that I might have done here.

Now this is just from memory, but I believe that in 7.5 adding the scwdebug.386 and windebug.386 drivers to the [386enh] section of your system.ini and rebooting was all that was necessary to get this to work (and I imagine this is sill the case in DM)  Of course this is only possible on Win9x.

with Symantech i think you have to run


\SC\bin\SCWMN16.EXE

I don't know if it is still there with DM ( I have 2 DM CDs  but i've never installed them: Symantec idde works fine with me and i don't like to fix something that already works )

Right, but I believe SC 7.5 shipped with scwmn16 on the CD.
