- Under Windows (BCW), specify `-do' under Run|Debugger Arguments...
-
- Under DOS (bc command), specify -do on the command line.
-
- Running the DOS bc under windows, use the Program Manager's
- File|Properties... dialog box or the pif editor to add `-do'.
-
- For the debuggers td, td286, td386, add -do to the command line.
-
- -do stands for `display other' meaning that the debugger interactions
- will go to the secondary display subsystem while the program output will
- appear on the primary display.

-
- Beg to differ. Within the Borland development products, it works just
- as well in DOS or Windows. I personally prefer running even BC under
- windows because of the better memory environment it seems to have there.
