Debugger

CDBG and DBG are DOS based application designed to run in a variety of OS configurations.  We've successfully used DBG in

  • Bare DOS configurations
  • DOS with EMM386/HIMEM
  • Windows 9x DOS box
  • Windows NT

Why doesn't DBG use a fancy Windows interface with dialog boxes and pop-up menus?  DBG needs to be able to run in a simple environment to help debug hardware.  The Windows family of operating systems may make the debug environment too fragile to use.  Speed is also a concern.  We've used DBG on PCs where the Pentium is running at about 2% of its normal speed - you just don't want to wait for Windows to boot when the computer is this slow.
