- I'll just touch on this point:
-
- A Monochrome video card works well with a VGA card. (I'm running it now!)
- Microsoft provided a DBWIN program with their compiler which allows you to
- see debug messages on the monochrome screen. All you have to do is buy
- the mononchrom card and monitor, plug in the card and connect the monitor.
-
- If you have the DEBUG version of Windows 3.x or Win95 you can get more
- detailed information on what is happening. Or if you do not, as long as
- you are running DBWIN you can see the debug messages that are getting
- outputed via DebugOutString().
