- I think it means that you are using the debug versions of the windows
- kernel libraries. If you have the official SDK you should have BAT files
- called N2D and D2N that switch kernels for you.
-
- AUX is short for Auxiliary. It used to be a serial port for a debugging
- terminal. It can be emulated by debuggers.
-
- You can also run something called Winox that loads the AUX driver and keeps
- Windows happy. I don't remember any other details: this was a Windows 3.0
- thing which I haven't seen since I upgraded to 3.1. Watch out for conflict
- with 3.0 debug kernels if you upgrade to 3.1. After 3 successful installs of
- 3.1 on other machines my development machine choked because of this. I had
- to perform a completely fresh installation rather than an upgrade.
