- D86 debugger package V3.14 March 21, 1988
- The entire package is Copyright 1986,1987,1988 Eric Isaacson.
- All rights reserved.
-
- For easier bulletin-board distribution, I have split this package
- into two ARC files, D86V314A.ARC and D86V314B.ARC. The first file
- contains enough to get you started; you can evaluate the package
- and then download the second file later on.
-
- PLEASE read Chapter 1 for legal terms and conditions, how to
- register for the package, and an overview of the debugger.
-
- If you bought a D86 disk from a $5-per-disk distribution house
- and are taken aback because you now find you must pay me for the
- right to use D86, please read the QUESTION and ANSWER from the
- A00.DOC file of the A86 package.
-
-
-
- The D86 package consists of the two programs D86.COM and A86.COM;
- a collection of source and batch files used by the demonstration
- in Chapter 2 and instructions in Chapter 3, and a sequence of DOC
- files that, when printed out in order, make the manual. Each
- chapter is a DOC file whose name is D??.DOC, where ?? runs from
- 00 through 10.
