- DEBUG
-
- The DEBUG external command can be used to create, edit, or display any file
- on your computer. No format is assumed or needed. DEBUG is a program that can
- get you into lots of trouble if carelessly used.
-
- DEBUG [d:][pathname][filename[.ext]]
-
- [d:][pathname][filename[.ext]] is the file to be edited or displayed.
- Wildcards can not be used.
-
- DEBUG treats a file as a string of characters. Each character in a file has
- an address. The addresses start at 0100. DEBUG only understands hexadecimal
- (base 16) arithmetic. Anytime an address is displayed, it will be of the form
- xxxx:yyyy, where yyyy is the address and xxxx: can be ignored. Lists produced
- by DEBUG always display sixteen characters on each line, first in hexadecimal
- and then in ASCII. See the NEW_TERMS ASCII topic for a cross reference of
- decimal, hexadecimal, and character equivalents. See the RD RDSTAR topic for
- an example of the use of the DEBUG command in a BATCH file.
