Is anyone using CVP to debug PM programs? When I try, CVP starts to work, but eventually always locks up the whole machine. Usually when I change program focus. -Gary

It is possible to die doing this, but if you are just a bit careful, things will work fine. The most important thing is not to hit Ctrl-Esc or Alt-Esc while debugging a PM program. This generally will screw you, since the PM program you are debugging won't respond to messages, and thus freezes the PM. I usually get a box asking if I want to terminate the app, but it never work (presumably because the shell can't kill a program under CVP's control). If I remember, I may have had problem when setting the flip/swap option to no. Leave it at yes for best results. Beyond this, I rarely have problems, although figuring out where to set a breakpoint is sometimes confusing, what with the message loop structure and everything. --Peter Golde
