I've found out the .tmp thing was misleading; I had done two things: added
.tmp and deleted the 'new' file.  The docco says it should handle existing
new files, but when I delete them first in the application, things work much
better.

So how do I debug in pure DOS?  The supplied gdb.exe doesn't run in pure
DOS, and also doesn't respond to the exe2coff/cwsdstub treatment.  It
only runs in a command window.
