This is amazing news. You should submit a little section about it for 
the Winelib hackers guide. And also for the user guides as it is an 
alternative to winedbg. One some people will like better. Eric, Mike 21 
thumbs up :-}

I get it from the lack of an answer that MSDEV installs the regular way, 
and that it is able to compile a project with output redirected into the 
IDE so you can double click on errors and stuff?

However, Step Into, Step Over, doesn't work.  If you
try this after reaching the breakpoint, the debugging
options are greyed out and the debugger ceases to
function.
So I guess it's some progress, but it's not totally
there yet.
 

Eric, Mike can you check this out? Does pe-gdb have the same problem 
with next/nexti?

I installed dev-c++ and really like it!  The DSP
import looks very promising - this is definitely an
avenue I will pursue.  I also like the Visual
Studio-like look, and the fact that it creates
makefiles for DLLs (static and dynamic), console apps,
and Windows GUI apps.  

Haven't tried gdb for Windows under Wine.  Also looks
like a good idea.
 

Use it under dev-c++. Just make an hello word application put a break 
point and press debug. Please do this for me I must know ...

2. Grab the DSW2MAKE util from MinGW. Written in
Perl.
   

These are all great suggestions.  My next chapter will
be to convert a "real world" app, which leans heavily
on good debugging techniques.  I want to define a good
converstion path.  You have helped me a lot.  Thanks.
