DOS comes with a program named DEBUG that is used for testing and debugging executable programs. It displays all program code and data in hex format.
Commands
- A - Assemble symbolic instructions into machine code
- D - Display the contents of an area of memory
- E - Enter data into memory, beginning at a specific location
- G - Run the executable program in memory
- N - Name a program
- P - Proceed, or execute a set of related instructions
- Q - Quit the debug session
- R - Display the contents of one or more registers
- T - Trace the execution of one instruction
- U - Unassemble machine code into symbolic code
- W - Write a program into disk
