We're looking for info on other Windows debuggers besides Codeview. Some companies that we understand market these include Answer Software, Atron, and Periscope. Has anyone used these debuggers or know of any others? Please e-mail me (or post if you want) info and recommendations or other comments. Thanks -- Stephanie Shirk e-mail to sshirk@emdeng.Dayton.NCR.COM

Most of the people here use Codeview with a product called MagicCVW. MagicCVW allows Codeview to run in a separate virtual machine on any 386. Because of this it only uses up 8K of the DOS memory used by Windows. I use Periscope (Periscope IV although Periscope I is more than enough for Windows debugging as you cannot use most of the hardware features without fixing segments in memory - if something moves the hardware breakpoints don't get updated (the software ones do though)) for my Windows debugging. We have found that there are times when Codeview will not work (i.e. it hangs the system) and Periscope will and vice versa. I think it is worth while to have both debuggers available to developers. MagicCVW can be purchased from: Nu-Mega Technologies P.O. Box 7607 Nashua, NH 03060-7607 (603)888-2386 Periscope can be purchased from: The Periscope Company, Inc. 1197 Peachtree Street Plaza Level Atlanta, GA 30361 (800)722-7006 (404)875-8080 Marc ---- "All my life I always wanted to BE somebody.
