Description
DOS Debug
DOS Debug is a handy debugging application that really boosts the original MS DEBUG command. It's designed to run on 32-bit computer systems only, and it works like an assembler and disassembler. This means it's a great tool for programmers to diagnose COM files and other executable files with ease.
What's Inside the Package?
The package comes with a binary meant for debugging 16-bit applications called DEBUG.COM. Plus, there's a cool modified version called DEBUGX.COM, which can handle both 16-bit and 32-bit applications running in protected mode (DPMI-enabled). So, whether you're working with older software or newer programs, you've got options!
Easy to Use Command Console
This application operates right in the command console. If you're ever unsure about what commands are available, just check out the 'Help' section—it's super user-friendly!
Extra Features of DOS Debug
DOS Debug packs some neat features! It improves upon the assembler and disassembler, even letting you know if there are any processor compatibility issues. It supports FPU Opcodes and works with 80386+ CPUs—so yes, it understands those shiny new 32-bit register names.
Hex Dump Capabilities
But wait, there's more! It can also function as a hex dump app. You'll find tools for analyzing memory content, comparing or filling address ranges, and displaying the MCB chain (that's DOS memory control block). Other commands let you explore specific disk sections, ports, memory sectors, or even set a program's name.
Compatibility Matters
DEBUG.COM runs as a 16-bit program—meaning it's limited to just 16-bit applications. However, its upgraded buddy DEBUGX.COM allows you to debug those nifty 32-bit DPMI programs too!
A Tool for Experienced Programmers
If you're an experienced programmer looking for a reliable utility to replace the MS DEBUG command, then DOS Debug is definitely worth checking out. It handles both 16-bit and 32-bit DPMI packages without breaking a sweat. Plus, it comes with detailed documentation so you can easily understand what each command does.
