This package is the new release of the D86 debugger. Please
upload it to bulletin boards, and give it to user groups,
computer departments in schools, and anyone else you think might
be interested in an debugger package for the IBM-PC.
You need to read the manual to use this program -- it's
just too complex to be self-explanatory. The file D02.DOC
takes you through a trial demonstration.
What's New
V3.72 is a release in conjunction with V3.72 of the A86 assembler.
D86 uses A86 to provide immediate-execution and patching features,
and each significant change to A86 requires a new D86 as well, to
track the locations of internal functions.
How to Get Everything
If you have downloaded the D86Vxxx.ZIP file from a BBS, you need
only make a subdirectory on your hard drive, make that the
current subdirectory, then run the program PKUNZIP or PCUNZIP
followed by the name of the ZIP file. The program will "unzip"
(decompress) all the files of the package into your subdirectory.
You may wish also to obtain the associated A86 assembler package.
The program A86.COM is included in this package (it is needed for
D86 to execute), but the A86 documentation isn't. Look for a
file A86Vxxx.ZIP in the same sources from which you received this
D86 package.
Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
