- The OX.SYS program is in the public domain. It is distributed as
- is and there is no support for it. Use it at your own risk.
-
- Debugging Windows applications usually requires the use of a
- separate terminal attached to the AUX device. DOS usually opens
- the first COM device as AUX for every process it loads. Windows
- takes advantage of this by writing debug information to device
- AUX. This debug information can greatly aid in debugging a
- program.
-
- Unfortunately, not all of us have a debugging terminal or can
- afford the cost of an additional PC or terminal. Although this
- is the preferred method, OX.SYS was developed to help eliminate
- this need.
-
- OX.SYS will redirect output/input to/from the AUX device to the
- MDA display attached to your system. Since a monochrome monitor
- is basicly a requirement for development (Execpt for programmers
- that develop on a PS/2).
-
- OX.SYS will only work on systems that have two display adaptors.
- Since you cannot have two monocrome adaptors in the same system,
- One monitor must be MDA and the other can be anything that
- windows supports.
-
-
- INSTALLATION:
-
- Simply put DEVICE=[drive][path]OX.SYS in your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- To test if the device is working properly type:
-
- DIR > AUX
-
- at the DOS prompt. You should see a directory display on your monochrome
- monitor.
-
-
- WINDOWS 2.xx :
-
- OX.SYS was developed for this environment and works fine.
-
- WINDOWS 3.0 :
-
- Input from the AUX device is currently broken. This might be
- corrected at a later date, output however, functions fine.
