It also pisses me off to no end when a debugger is so unstable that it crashes regularly when you're trying to find out why wour program is crashing. I'm not impressed by MultiScope, and I wouldn't recommend it to anybody. It looks snazzy, but it's flaky (under PM), doesn't exist (under Windows) and I have had many poor experiences with Logitech's Modula-2 support and development.

After all the problems I've had with the Logitech scanner software and their horrible upgrade policy I will NOT buy any more of their products. Just another example of a non-consumer-oriented software company.

After all my PC is general purpose. Right now, I have 1 x ESDI controller, 1 x SCSI controller, 1 x ATI VGA Wonder, 1 x Multi-I/O card, 1 x Sound Blaster card (I play games of course :-)), 1 x MDA card. Six cards total; and I plan to add an EPROM programmer, and may be something else. So, I'm out of room. Would be nice if CVW allows you to do it either way, via. second display card or via. a dumb terminal through the serial port. Better still, provide a third option of displaying it as a window.

Colorgarphic Communications Corporation makes a video board which contains circuitry for two complete VGA subsystems. Up to 4 of these cards can coexist in a system. Hardware is provided to window one of the vga displays in the other or to use two completely separate displays. -- David Feustel, 1930 Curdes Ave, Fort Wayne, IN 46805, (219) 482-9631
