I am in the proccess of setting up the SDK in my computer I have a doubt: Suppose I have a mono card with monitor in order to use CVW, I am running the debugging version of windows.... The AUX device to which the debugging version of windows directs error messages: Does it has to be a serial terminal?, Can I use the mono screen for its output?, What is the AUX device exactly? I expect not to need 3 screens for my environment (VGA, mono, terminal), I just don't have place for them....

AUX is synonymous with COM1. In the debugging version of windows any time windows senses an error (invalid handles NULL pointers) it does a stack dump to the AUX device. The problem with this is that if you don't have a terminal hooked up to this device windows will not let you proceed. YOU MUST REBOOT! Even some commercial "bug free" applications will do this. Fortunatly I have a very small device drive that redirects AUX output to the second monitor. So the answer is YES you can get away with two monitors. I will post this device driver (OX.SYS) Robert Nee

Previously I posted that I have a device driver to reroute output
to AUX to a second monochrome monitor. Alas due to company policy
I cannot access any of the ftp sites. Since this utility is
exceedingly small you will find it appended to this post. once
installed you should never again be CRASHED by windows looking
for the AUX device which I bet damn few people have anything
connected to.

Since sbi.com cannot find "cf_u14" I guess I'll have to mention this by posting a followup. Robert, here's how your uuencode file arrived here, missing two trailing spaces and at least the beginning of the last line, and who know how many other lines. |> begin 777 ox.sys |> M_____P"(0 !+ $%56" @(" @ *T!60%9 5D![ # 2<!-@%J &H 60%9 |> M 5D!2P%6 0 / + "Z,!A0 +HD>$@#+G!X&4%-14E=6_"[$'A( |> M)HI' M#@C3X6 #+D _C_)2:+3Q(FQ7<.+L0^- "L/ UW#G10/ IT$SP)=#X\ |> M"'0NJD>!_Z /<C^_ \>!E9748S CM@S_[Z@ +F !_.EN" 'N5 \ZM97UX' |> M'^L:D('_ ]T$X/O NL.D('/#@"#QP+K!)"_ _BI"Z)/C0 NK0#T>^+Q[ . |> M[XO'AN"P#^_K;I#H?P"T ,T6)L1_#JHFQD<2 >AN .M7D.AH +0!S19T"B:( |> M1PWH6P#K1)#H50 NQ!X2 ":!3P, ^L^D.A$ +0!S19TYN@[ .LDD.@U +0! |> MS19T!K0 S1;K].@F .L/D+JT [@*"^^X"PSOZP&0+L0>$@ F@4\# %>7UI9 |> M6U@''YW+!E SP([ ^BZA.

A THOUSAND PARDONS!!!!
I certainly did post a corrupt encoded file. the problem lies in the
X windows cut and paste functions ignoring trailing spaces which where
necessary on some of the lines. Here is a repost:

please ensure that lines 33 and 11 have a trailing space and
that the line before the "end" has one space on it.
Sorry again!
