X-Hacker.org- Watcom Debugger Guide - this link communicates between 2 windows dos boxes. in order to use this http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
This link communicates between 2 Windows DOS boxes.  In order to use this
link, you must have Windows 3.x or Windows 95 installed on your machine.
 You must run Windows 3.x in enhanced mode.  You must also include the
"device" specification listed below in the [386Enh] section of your
"SYSTEM.INI" file (this line is usually added during the Watcom software
installation process).


     DEVICE=C:\WATCOM\BINW\WDEBUG.386

In order for this link to work properly, you must ensure that this link runs
in a DOS box that has background execution enabled.

The parameter to this link is an arbitrary name to be used for the
connection.  This allows you to have multiple remote debug sessions active
simultaneously.  The default name is WinLink.  The following examples show
how to use the default name or specify a link name using the Windows 3.x/95
VDM link.


     A>winserv
     B>wd /tr=win app

     A>winserv whats_in_a_name
     B>wd /tr=win;whats_in_a_name app

The following examples show how to debug a 32-bit extended DOS application
using the Windows 3.x/95 VDM link.


     A>winserv /tr=rsi
     B>wd /tr=win app

     A>winserv /tr=rsi whats_in_a_name
     B>wd /tr=win;whats_in_a_name app

The "RSI" trap file is specified for DOS/4G(W) applications.  You can
specify other trap files for the other DOS extenders (e.g., "PLS" for Phar
Lap).  Do not forget to include other required files in the path.

RSI
    Both "DOS4GW.EXE" and the loader help file "RSIHELP.EXP" must also be
    located in one of the directories listed in the DOS PATH environment
    variable.  See the section entitled
    Debugging DOS/4G(W) 32-bit DOS Extender Applications for more
    information on debugging applications that use the DOS/4GW DOS extender.

PLS
    One or more of "RUN386.EXE" (or "TNT.EXE"), "DBGLIB.REX", "PLSHELP.EXP",
    and "PEDHELP.EXP" must be located in one of the directories listed in
    the DOS PATH environment variable.  See the section entitled
    Debugging Phar Lap 32-bit DOS Extender Applications for more information
    on debugging applications that use the Phar Lap DOS extender.
