The DOS version of the OpenWatcom debugger (BINW\WD.EXE) behaves
strangely when using FreeCOM on Win98. There are no problems with WD
when using Win98's COMMAND.COM on Win98, nor are there problems when
using FreeCOM on FreeDOS rather than Win98.
The problem I'm experiencing is that WD will step *into* (F8) function
calls when I hit F10 to trace while stepping *over* calls.
Since I can reproduce this problem, I could send my project (a real-mode
DOS graphics app written in C using VGA mode 13h) to any (Open)Watcom
users so that they can test whether it happens on their machine too.
Apart from meaning that I have to use the dysfunctional (compared to
FreeCOM) Win98 COMMAND.COM, this is not a major problem since it does
have a workaround.
I have not yet posted on the OpenWatcom newsgroup, since I wanted to
first see if anyone here had any ideas.
Thanks,
Brolin
P.S. I am using FreeCom version 0.82 pl 3 XMS_Swap on Win98 SE (U.S.
English build). My version of WD is from the official OpenWatcom 1.3
binary release. I can supply more configuration and/or hardware details
if needed.
