Topic: MS DOS debug program


  
  MS-DOS Commands
The DOS command name is the name you enter to start the DOS program (a few of the DOS commands can be entered using shortcut names).
Whenever you enter a DOS command that deals with disk drives and you are already working in the drive in question, you do not have to enter the drive designator.
If you do not enter a drive designation, DOS always assumes you are referring to the drive you are currently working in (sometimes called the "default" drive).

 Disk formatting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sectors are actually physically larger than 512 bytes as they include sector numbers, CRC bytes, and other information required in order to identify and verify the sector during reading and writing.
This was a fairly bizarre process that involved using the MS-DOS debug program to transfer control to a routine hidden at different addresses in different BIOSs.
The data can still be recovered through physical means (by consulting data recovery specialists); to prevent this, the drive must be securely wiped, although even this is not a perfect guarantee.

 PC Computer Debug Routines
Debug is a MS-DOS command which can be used to enter machine language into the computer either to create programs or test computer peripherals by receiving back various computer machine code.
When running any of the debug routines it is recommended that if you have Windows that you exit or shut down to get into a real DOS prompt (unless you're running Windows ME, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or later versions).
This debug routine is used to erase all partition information on the hard disk drive and is only recommend for experienced users or users who are unable to delete the partition information through fdisk.

 Merlyn - MS-DOS Batch Introduction - J R Stockton   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Microsoft DOS exists in versions 1.0 to 6.22, and is simulated within versions of Microsoft Windows (as MS-DOS versions 7 or higher); I will assume those here (I have in use Amstrad DOS 3.30, MS-DOS 6.20, and Windows 98).
Programs can choose to operate on a file treating it as text, in which case the character pair CR LF is used for "New Line" (contrast UNIX and Mac conventions), and Ctrl-Z (^Z) terminates reading.
A Filter is a program which reads standard input and writes standard output; the output is usually a modified copy of the input.

 MS-DOS 6 Commands: Debug - EGA.SYS
Debug repeats the five values until all the 100h bytes are filled.
When the program reaches a breakpoint, Debug restores all breakpoint addresses to their original instructions and displays the contents of all registers, the status of all flags, and the decoded form of the last instruction executed.
When the p command transfers control from Debug to the program being tested, that program runs without interruption until the loop, repeated string instruction, software interrupt, or subroutine at the specified address is completed, or until the specified number of machine instructions have been executed.

This program uses the partition information to determine which partition is bootable (usually the first primary DOS partition) and attempts to boot from it.
This program is what is written to the disk by FDISK /MBR and is usually called the master boot record.
DOS 5.0 removed the function to set the option delimiter, but retained the function to query what it currently is. (Unfortunately, no further details were provided in this file, so not sure if the delimiter character can still be changed somehow.)

 Disk format   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Early hard drives were quite similar to floppies, but the low-level formatting was generally done by the BIOS, rather than by the operating system.
Rather than face ever-escalating difficulties with BIOS versioning, disk vendors started doing low-level formatting at the factory.
High level formatting is done on a per-partition basis, and it formats the partition to work with a specific file format.

DOS Trumpet is a TSR with a fairly well defined API (called ABI to emphasise that it's a binary application interface, not just a source level interface).
Basically run the program with no arguments and it is a server that listens on UDP port 812 and echoes back whatever it receives.
Pass the argument of the IP address of the server and the program becomes the client allowing you the enter data that will be sent to the server and get bounced back.

 Removing Non-DOS Partitions with Debug   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The Debug script on the following page, used with the MS-DOS Debug program, deletes non-DOS partitions when you upgrade to a new version of MS-DOS, enabling the entire hard disk to be used by MS-DOS.
It does so, however, by clearing out the entire partition table on the hard disk, which results in the deletion of ALL partitions on the hard disk.
Run Debug and type the Debug commands from the center column of Table 1 at the corresponding Debug prompt.

 r_harvey - Exploring MS-DOS
The HP 95 Setup program has menu entries for setting the time and date, but many people prefer to set the time in DOS, since the format is simpler and you can leave out the seconds or add everything down to the hundredth for absolute accuracy (or we can pretend that it's absolutely accurate).
DOS does not inform programs that they have been paused, or that they are about to be involuntarily terminated.
DOS reuses directory entries as files are created, deleted and renamed, so files on the disk are rarely sorted, and their order in the directory listing can change.

 UKT Support - Debug Hardware Test
An example of this is when a DB modem is set to COM3, and the R232 serial port is set to COM2, DOS will back fill the active COM ports, so COM2 will show as COM1 to DOS, but its address will still be F802.
There is a virus on the master boot record of the hard drive, and the virus detection program will not clear it.

 MS-DOS DEBUG Program   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
DEBUG was only one of a small handful of DOS 5.0 programs that didn't require any changes to run under all these NT systems.
DEBUG was originally designed to work with.COM programs having a maximum size of only 65,280 bytes [ (64 x 1024) - 256 ] or less; how much less, depended upon how many bytes the program needed to place on the Stack.
The subtraction of 256 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.

 MesaDX Project History
The simple execution environment provided by Zint was designed to simplify debug of Zemu without the complication of the more sophisticated memory and I/O systems present in the SMS and GG machines.
The Zint portion of the project was canceled in favor of Zebug, an emulator written in a combination of assembly language and C++.
Many debug features were better suited as part of the architecture rather than simply sitting on top of the existing architecture.

 ftp command from MS-DOS 7.0 (Windows Console Program)
Note: Although this program has a lot of shortcomings in comparison to either WS_FTP or FTP Explorer which are both FREE and readily available 32-bit Windows programs, I wanted to include the instructions for "ftp" for the sake of completeness and for those who love playing around with the Command Line.
The ftp program in Windows 95 breaks the general rule of how you obtain help information directly from the command line.
However, I'd encourage you to try the commands which do not involve the transfer of files, such as STATS or STAT (depends upon the particular server) or SYST, etc., so you can get more info about the remote server you are interacting with.

 MS-Windows DOS Stub Program
Therefore, Microsoft® programmers made sure that all Windows® programs would have a simple 16-bit DOS program placed at the front of each Windows executable, alerting the user that it was in fact a Windows® program and could not be run under DOS; and that's all the DOS "Stub" program does.
Whenever the DOS EXEC function is called to examine a file (anytime you load an.EXE or.COM program into DEBUG 2.0+ for example) and it finds "MZ" as the first two bytes, that file will always be considered an.EXE executable!
Yet the DOS header works out to: Header 28 (not the whole area), Relocations 0, Empty 36, Image 1104, Overlay 49792; which adds up to the same total.
