Debug utility for Win95/Win98, to show debug messages without a debugger.
This is recommended for wxWidgets 2.1.11 and above. From the
online help: DebugView/EE (Enterprise Edition) is an application that lets you monitor debug output on your local system, or any computer on the network that you can reach via TCP/IP. It is capable of displaying both kernel-mode and Win32 debug output, so you don’t need a debugger to catch the debug output your applications or device drivers generate. DebugView/EE works on NT 4.0, 5.0 (Windows 2000), Windows 95 and Windows 98. Note: if you want to run DebugView/EE on Windows 95 you must install the WinSock2 update, available for free download from Microsoft’s Web site. |
