[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Borland debugger questions

I have a several questions about Borland's recently announced turbo debugger.

1.  The debugger can use CodeView executables with a translator.  What's
it's native source of info?   Intel standard records in the objects?
Can it read info from .MAP files?  

2.  They mention a driver interface for using Atron/Periscope/... hardware
debuggers.  Is an actual Atron driver included, or is it just possible for
Atron to write one if they wanted to.  I don't see much incentive on their
part.  They have a software debugger that they're trying to sell too!

3.  When using virtual 86 mode on a 80386, do they use a 386 control program
built into the debugger (or separately written by Borland) or do they somehow
use something like Desqview's QEMM or 386-to-the-max.  I'm worried about
trying to debug an application using EMS memory (simulated by Desqview or
something like it) and the debugger in virtual 86 mode simultaneously.

I know this is just is a just-announced (not available?) product, but I'd
appreciate any info!
