Stephen,
<< I would like to use the Watcom debugger Video in the development of Autodesk
IPAS3 external processes. The Watcom manual discusses use of the debugger with
ADS and ADI, but not IPAS development. >>
I don't have a Watcom programming environment. I just reviewed the IPAS3
Readme and noted that there are no debugging insights in there except for a
debug version of the Watcom lib. Maybe one of the other IPAS3 developers can
lend some insights into Watcom debugging and IPAS3.
I found an interesting statement on pg 65 of the Watcom Video Manual regarding
how debugging an ADS app under ACAD requires a ADS.TRP trap file and the
ACAD.ADS file of ADS apps that will be loaded by ACAD. Something similar would
be needed for IPAS.
However, the ADS.TRP will automatically load ACAD so you can't just use it for
3DS. :-(..
Have you contacted Watcom for any additional help?
