I'm used to working on sparcstations, doing all my coding in emacs and
running gdb for source line debugging inside the editor (meta-x gdb).  I'm
trying to set up a windows development environment (keeping dual-boot
windows and linux systems both constantly healthy and up to date has just
gotten to be too time consuming, and I want to cut down to one OS), but I'd
like to preserve that way of working.  I'm starting to get the impression
that this won't be possible however - that I can use emacs, and gdb, but not
both together, because they require separate processes.

Is that correct?  Or is my info out of date, or have I possibly
misunderstood?  Is there any way to debug with GDB inside emacs under
windows 98?  I'm using emacs 21.2.1 by the way, although I've tried older
versions as well.  Basically the process just hangs as soon as I type "run",
and pretty much results in a fairly imminent reboot.
