I made a little break-through today (a major one for me).
I got a standalone windows program with a listbox to start working a little like a debugger.
I click a button and it starts another program that was compiled in debug mode.
As dll's are loaded text is displayed in the listbox.
DEBUGPRINT causes text to be listed in the listbox.
Like I said, this is a major breakthrough for me...but it represents only about 55 of the things I need to address with the debugger.
But it is progress..
