Yes, I'm using VS2019.
Interesting. I indeed have been using Mago (pretty old project 
files too).
I did not know that "Mago" was the wrong debugger to use. I think 
it used to be so that it was the preferred and more feature 
complete (i.e. correct) debugger.

Thanks.
And what it's worth, I think you're doing high value work with 
Visual D, much appreciated.
