[comp.windows.ms] Dual monitor debugging with TPW and BC++?

fwellan@hub.cs.jmu.edu (fred welland) (05/03/91)

Scenario:
	386 box with ati vga wonder in 800x600x16 mode and
	a NEC 3d.  I have a roomates Leading Edge hercules
	compatible mono monitor.

What I want:
	Dual monitor debugging with TP for Windows and 
	BC++.  The debugger for these package claim 
	that they support dual monitor debugging.
	I want to setup the 3d as my primary monitor
	and the LE mono monitor to "run" the debugger.
	I realize that I will need another display adapter
	to run the 2nd monitor (as well as fiddle around
	with the IRQ settings).

What I need:
	I have not even begun to make any connections/setup
	both monitors.  If anybody has any exeperience with
	any of this equipment, or any experience
	with dual monitor debugging any wisdom/advice would 
	be a big help.  Any info on Windows settings, Tdebugger
	settings, or general comments would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

-Fred

I'm currently running TDW with two monitors on a 386 clone with an
Everex EGA card and some no-name mono (Hercules clone) video card.

I'm not sure about your setup, but the EGA card I use has switches
that allow me to use the mono card as the primary monitor and the
EGA as secondary.  Your setup may have something like this.

As for running TDW on two monitors, there are two ways to do it:

A) From the DOS prompt:
   	win tdw /do <filename>

B) From windows
	Select TDW, get the "Properties", and add "/do" to the command line.
	(You only need to do this once).
	Start up TDW from windows.  When it appears on the other
	monitor, do a "File|Load".

Hope this helps somewhat...
