- Try setting AUX=NUL in your system.ini. I do not remeber in which section of
- system.ini it goes into off-hand, but I will check it out and e-mail you
- later. Do not hesitate to remind me by e-mail if I forget!

- I means that it's trying to dump some debugging info to AUX port (it does
- not mean that you have an error anywhere !). Normally, you'd have a second
- monitor attached to the computer, and it would serve as a AUX output device
- for the debugging kernel, but since you don't have one and you haven't told
- kernel that you don't, it is still trying to output the info to AUX and of
- course fails to do so.
-
- I've had a lot of trouble with this problem myself -- that's why I did not use
- debugging kernel for almost a yeart, until I figured out what the problem
- was.
-
- If you do not want to buy a second monitor for debugging messages, you should be
- using DBWin utility which comes with SDK. DBWin shows all the info that
- was supposed to go to the secondary monitor in a window. The only thing that
- it does not do is show back-trace in case your app produces an error-msg --
- for speed reasons this feature has been turned off by MMicrosoft. All that
- needs to be changed to get back-trace is three or four lines of code; you
- can get this from Microsoft's CompuServe forum.
