Later, Tim adapted the code to run as a. Tim was then hired by Microsoft as the primary author of their first OS. COM utility was included with it. This is one of the most important commands for many of its users. Though lacking much of the functionality of a stand-alone Assembler, e. COM programs have been assembled with this command. Under DOS 3. It appears they were rarely, if ever used though, even by programmers. DEBUG’s code went through a number of changes and ‘bug fixes’ too over the years!

Some of these internal changes were related to DOS system calls and screen output, then there was the change in file type from a. COM to an. But in spite of all those changes and others which followed, DEBUG has never had an official revision since 2.

Though it seems a great deal has changed, you’ll still find the phrase “Vers 2. But without access to its source code, we can’t be sure if there were any major differences in DEBUG. So, one has to wonder what the cause of this problem might be. See the L command in the Tutorial section for more information.

This may surprise you: We purposely mentioned the DOS 5. No doubt he wished it had been replaced by something better way back in It wasn’t until the release of DOS 5. COM program v 1. DEBUG can also be quite useful for educational purposes. And even for debugging the Assembly code that is required during the boot process: The software that checks the Partition Table on hard disks and loads OS Boot Sectors into Memory. SEE our Bochs Debug page for more on that. You can download and use this program for free; currently we recommend a page made for it on a site created by Vernon C.

Unfortunately, as with DEBUG itself, this program will not function under any bit Windows OS; attempting to do so will result in this error message:. DEBUG was originally designed to work with. COM programs having a maximum size of only 65, bytes [ 64 x – ] or less ; how much less, depended upon the maximum number of bytes the program had to place on the Stack at the same time. The subtraction of bytes is necessary since DEBUG often uses the area from offset 00 through FF hex for some internal data such as the name of the file that was loaded.

Remember, true. As early as DOS 1. Basically, how large a file that DEBUG can safely use without error depends on the amount of available memory and the way the OS handles memory management. We’ll say more about this below. EXE , it: 1 Allocates at least 64 KiB of the first free Memory Segment for debugging programs or examining files specified on the command line.

Just how large a file it can handle, depends upon both the OS and available memory. And remember that j ust because your system can debug a certain file, doesn’t mean someone else’s will be able to. But due to the automatic h load offset, the file’s last bytes will have been loaded at the beginning of the next 64 KiB segment.

EXE program. EXE or a. It is quite possible though, to change the extension of an. EXE file, for example to. EXE extension afterwards. Normally we’d recommend using a Hex editor instead, but would like to point out that DEBUG could be used with Batch files and scripts to carry out such edits automatically; taking the place of a Patch program. One of the simplest. You can follow along as we examine one of these here! And although DEBUG often functions as expected if you zero-out this area, there may be some cases where you wouldn’t want to alter its contents.

When running DEBUG without a filename, whatever appeared on the previous command line, except for the command itself, will be displayed in the bytes at offsets 82 h and following.

These are often referred to as DOS switches or parameters. Thus, the ” us ” in the display above was from the command ” keyb us ” in the DOS 6. BAT file. Note: Successive uses of DOS parameters are never cleared from memory, only overwritten. So, many characters of a very long parameter string will often remain intact, and as a consequence, will be copied to the bytes at offsets 82 h through FF h each time DEBUG is run.

However, if we go on to load the file edit. At first, we were unsure why DEBUG was doing this, but knew it had nothing to do with the size of this program, which is only bytes. Instead it’s simply because this is a “program” EDIT. COM rather than some other type of file. EXE programs. EXE files. The longest line in that file, including its trailing 0Dh carriage return byte, is successively overwritten by shorter lines in the file until the process results in what’s copied to offsets 82 h through CE h of DEBUG’s Segment:.

NT will ever appear here, because the carriage returns 0Dh just preceding them send the cursor to the start of the line each time they’re encountered, and whatever comes before the first space character 20h in every line does not get copied; which is why the “REM” of the last three lines doesn’t appear here either.

NT contains a single byte of any value. You may reduce its size to just a single byte. But in order to see anything other than zero bytes in offsets 82 h and following, at least one space byte 20h must be placed between a non-space byte at the beginning of a line and whatever you’d like to have displayed.

If the file contains only the 3 bytes: ” T “, space and ” S “, then offsets 82h and 83h would be an ” S ” followed by 0Dh. This section is presently a ” Work in Progress “, but if you happen to see this before it’s finished, can you guess what it’s about?

Although almost all the code used by programmers performs exactly as expected; once they’ve eliminated their own errors in logic that is, occasionally it will produce surprising results because they didn’t dig deep enough into the fine print of the user manuals for a PC’s processor. Professional programmers will always test their code in as many ways as reasonably possible, but studying the processor’s programming notes; especially sections pertinent to any of their tasks, should be high on their list!

NOTE: If you want to be a much better hacker, the example presented here might cause you to delve into Intel’s detailed notes on how their CPUs handle various instructions.

Have you ever encountered two distinct lines of Assembly instructions that DEBUG always steps through without ever stopping at the second line?

The following is just one of MANY repeatable examples we could list here. After entering ” u ” it should disassemble to:. Now enter an ” r ” at the prompt and try to single step t through the code. As soon as you enter the t command at offset 0 h, you’ll wind up at offset 0 h; every time! Is this some “bug” that was never dealt with? The instruction at offsets 0 h ff. However, if you expand your research to include other debugging tools, you’ll soon realize the chances of every version of two or more tools having the same “bug” are So, why does this code affect a debugger’s interrupt abilities?

What’s that? You don’t have one! And footnote 1. For those who are new to how a debugger works, the “instruction breakpoint” which this refers to is not a breakpoint set by users, but rather the, let’s call it, automatic breakpoint a debugger sets by itself on every single instruction users step into.

So, according to these notes, what you may have thought was a “bug” in DEBUG, is in fact a processor doing what it was designed to do! If you open two instances of DEBUG one per DOS-window and examine all the memory they can access, you might notice completely different data in many of the same memory locations!

Only under bit DOS , does DEBUG actually have access to the real Memory locations in which the operating system itself is running; making it much easier to crash the whole system if an error is made. We will attempt to locate and point out any inconsistencies when using PCE with these early versions of DEBUG, but would appreciate feedback from our readers as well.

So, one has to wonder what the cause of debug.exe problem might be. For those who are new to how a debugger works, the “instruction breakpoint” ссылка на подробности this refers to is not a breakpoint set by users, but rather the, let’s перейти it, automatic diwnload a debugger sets by itself on every single instruction users step into. To view the source code on its own, right-click the file name and choose Open or Open in separate downolad or window. There is a special case that, the operating system win98 debug.exe download a bit system, but you are not sure whether the program is bit or bit. Additional Requirements None. As soon as you enter the win98 debug.exe download command at offset 0 h, you’ll wind up at offset 0 h; every time!
