- Hi!
- If it's a loadable device driver, you'll need to
- debug it using WDEB386, which comes with your Windows 3.1 SDK,
- a serial port, and a terminal of some sort. In other words,
- you won't be able to use Codeview.
- It won't be as easy as debugging with Codeview since a driver
- is a different sort of DLL.
-
- There's a third party product called NU-MEGA Soft-ICW/W which is
- reputed to be good. Nu-Mega's number is 603-889-2386.

- Best,
