Yes, I've updated idebug-stunnel-readme.txt to clarify this.  There's a
copy of the update idebug-stunnel-readme.txt appended to this message.

Not yet, but eventually.  See the updated step 6.6.  It appears that the
debugger is not finding the source files yet, or I misunderstood your next
message.

== 1.0 Introduction ==

   The idebug-small package is a set of scripts and files that allow an
   application of be run under the VAC debugger without having a full VAC
   3.65 development environment installed.  The package is  designed to be
   run on systems where the user may have no developer skills and no
   development tools installed.

   This is the  stunnel version of the idebug-small. It includes the
   specific files needed to run stunnel under the VAC debugger on your
   system.

   When the user lacks the ability to use or to learn how to use the VAC
   debugger, the debugger is typically run by a developer who will access
   the user's system with the OS2Voice HelpDesk.

== 2.0 Requirements ==

   The scripts are designed to be run under 4OS2, so you need 4OS2 available
   on your system.  If you don't already have 4OS2 installed, you can install
   the version supplied with ArcaOS or any other relatively recent available
   version.

   The scripts require a small number of additional executables or scripts
   that are available on most systems.  The scripts check that these
   required items are available and will alert you if something is missing.
   If something unexpected is missing, the script will probably generate an
   error message and you should report this to the developer so the issue can
   be addressed.

   You will need a copy of stunnel.exe built with debug data.  The developer
   will provide you will a copy, if needed.

   If you are not capable of debugging the issue yourself, you will need to
   run the OS2Voice HelpDesk client to allow the developer to access your
   system and run the debugger for you.  If you are not familiar with the
   OS2Voice HelpDesk Tool, you must read and understand

     http://articles.os2voice.org/category/software/20-helpdesk.html

   and download a copy of

     http://articles.os2voice.org/images/files/hdesk-v101.zip

   and read an understand the included documentation.

   The developer will provide you a configured copy of the HelpDesk client
   that you will use to initiate the HelpDesk session.

== 3.0 Scripts ==

   init-idebug.cmd                      Prepares system to run VAC debugger.

   init-idebug-stunnel-massimo.cmd      Prepares system to run stunnel under
                                        the debugger.

== 4.0 Distributed files ==

   idebug-stunnel-readme.txt      This file.

   idebug-small-yyyymmdd.zip      VAC debugger package. These are the
                                  scripts and binary files required run
                                  the VAC 3.65 debugger on your system.
                                  yyyymmdd will be the version timestamp of
                                  the files you were provided.

   stunnel-v.vv-src-yyyymmdd.zip  Stunnel source files and scripts. These
                                  are the scripts and source files needed to
                                  run stunnel under the VAC debugger. v.vv
                                  will be the stunnel version of the
                                  stunnel sources and yyyymmdd will be the
                                  timestamp of the zip file you were
                                  provided.

== 5.0 Installation ==

  To install the package, proceed as follows:

  5.1 Create a work directory.  It will be called \idebug here, but you can
      name the directory whatever you want.

  5.2 Unzip idebug-small-yyyymmdd.zip to the \idebug directory, preserving
      paths.

  5.3 Unzip stunnel-v.vv-src-yyyymmdd.zip to the \idebug directory
      preserving paths.

  5.4 You should end up with the following directory tree structure:

        idebug\
          src\

      The idebug directory will contain the VAC debugger binaries and various
      support scripts.

      The src directory will contain the stunnel source files needed by the
      debugger.

== 6.0 Testing your setup ==

  6.1 Open a 4OS2 session with the \idebug directory as the current directory.

  6.2 From the command line, enter

        init-idebug.cmd

      to set up the VAC debugger environment.

  6.3 From the command line, enter

        init-idebug-stunnel-massimo.cmd

      to set up the VAC debugger environment for debugging stunnel.  The
      script checks that stunnel can be found in the PATH which is typical
      for most installations.  If this is not the case for your system, you
      will get the warning:

        Warning: cannot access stunnel in PATH

      This may or may not be a problem on your system.  Press enter to
      continue and see the comments in step 6.6.

  6.4 From the command line, enter

        idebug

      The debugger should start up and open the Startup Information dialog
      window. If this occurs, press Esc to close the dialog window and
      display the Debugger - Session Control window.  Press F3 to terminate
      the debugger.

      If the debugger does not start as described, something is not
      quite right with your setup.  Ask for help before continuing.

  6.5 From the command line, cd to the directory where you want to
      run stunnel.

      The paths contained in your stunnel.conf usually determine the
      directory where you need to run stunnel.  If your stunnel.conf contains
      only absolute paths, the current directory should not matter, so there
      should be no need to change the current directory.

      If your stunnel.conf contains relative paths, you are probably going to
      change to change the a current directory that works for these relative
      paths.

      The init-idebug.cmd and init-idebug-stunnel-massimo.cmd scripts set up
      the environment so that the debugger should run correctly from any
      directory.

  6.6 From the command line, start the debugger and stunnel.

      If stunnel.exe is in the current directory or is in the PATH and
      stunnel.conf is in the current directory, use

        idebug stunnel stunnel.conf

      to start the debugger.

      If the version of stunnel to be debugged is not in the current
      directory or will not be found first in the PATH, be sure to specify
      the full path to this version of stunnel on the command line.

      If the version of stunnel.conf to be used is not in the current
      directory, be sure to specify the full path to this version of
      stunnel.conf on the command line.

      For example, if the stunnel.exe and the stunnel.conf you want to use
      are installed to X:\stunnel, use

        idebug X:\stunnel\stunnel.exe X:\stunnel\stunnel.conf

      If you have multiple copies of stunnel.exe installed on your system,
      be sure that the the debugger will use the version that contains the
      debug data.

      The debugger should start up and show the Debugger - Session Control
      window and a source window showing the current source file.  This
      source file should be UI_UNIX.C.  If something else occurs, ask for
      help before continuing.

      If the debugger does not start as described, something is not
      quite right with your setup.  Ask for help before continuing.

      Start stunnel under the debugger and verify that stunnel starts and
      runs as to expected.  To start stunnel, use The Run->Run menu item or
      press the R hotkey or click the Run icon.  Check to debugger's
      Debug Appl window.  It should show the typical stunnel console output.

      If stunnel does not start as expected, check your command line
      parameters.  If you cannot get stunnel running correctly under the
      debugger, ask for help before continuing.

      Verify that the issue to be debugged can occur when running under the
      debugger.  If you have trouble doing this, ask for help before
      continuing.

      To stop stunnel, use the Run->Halt menu item or press the SysRq key or
      click the Halt icon or press Ctrl-C in the Debug Appl window.

      Once all of the above happens as described, you are ready the debug
      your issue. If you are not going the debug stunnel yourself, press F3
      to terminate the debugger. Otherwise, have at it and good luck.

== 7.0 Working with the developer ==

      If you are not going to debug stunnel yourself, be prepared to explain
      to the developer exactly how you start the stunnel instance that needs
      to be debugged.  This includes the working directory and the stunnel
      command line and any other relevant information such as the
      stunnel.conf file you are using along with any related files.

== 8.0 Running stunnel under the debugger ==

      When running an stunnel instance under the debugger, you should be
      able  to continue to run other applications normally.  This includes
      other  stunnel instances.

      You need to ensure any fault daemons you have running will not
      interfere with the stunnel instance begin debugged.

      You need to ensure that the issue being debugged can occur.

      The debugger may crash, but it normally will not take down the system.
      However, nothing is perfect, so be prepared to reboot if needed.
