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 am to young and niave to have opinions.

The hercules clone that I am using has a jumper to make it the secondary monitor and that is all you have to do. If you are lucky, you won't have to protect any memory. I don't remember using bc++ in this mode, but I have used codeview, td and tdw in the dual monitor mode. The vga bcomes the program's display and the mono is the debugger's display. The great part of it all is no more switching screens when you move through the code. Kent
