Of course.

I'm not sure if the error messages will help a lot. I used 386SWAT with JemmEx under MS-DOS 7.1 and FreeDOS without problems. But I always loaded JemmEx first and then 386SWAT in CONFIG.SYS:

DOS=HIGH,NOAUTO,UMB STACKS=0,0 FILESHIGH=80 LASTDRIVEHIGH=Z FCBSHIGH=4,0 BUFFERSHIGH=16 Country=049,850,C:\country.sys DEVICE=C:\UMBPCI.SYS /I=D000-DFFF DEVICE=C:\JEMMEX.EXE FRAME=E000 S=D000-DFFF FASTBOOT MIN=48 SPLIT DEVICEHIGH=C:\386SWAT.LOD PRO=C:\386SWAT.PRO DEVICEHIGH=C:\JLOAD.EXE -q C:\XDMA32.DLL /F DEVICEHIGH=C:\JLOAD.EXE -q C:\XCDROM32.DLL /D:CD001$ /F /32 DEVICEHIGH=C:\JLOAD.EXE -q C:\KEYBGR.DLL DEVICEHIGH=C:\HXLDR32.EXE -Q C:\DPMILD32.EXE INSTALLHIGH=C:\DOSKEY.COM INSTALL=C:\SHCDX33C.COM /Q /D:CD001$ /~ SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /P /E:512

However, if you've activated 386SWAT's "trapgenp" option, the debugger will stop at Jemm's "v86 breakpoints", which are implemented as HLT opcodes. So you most likely will have to modify your 386SWAT.PRO, note the "gpskip" line in the following excerpt:

; Recommended options are trapdiv ; Direct INT 00h to 386SWAT (Divide Overflow Fault) trapnmi ; Direct INT 02h to 386SWAT (Non-maskable interrupt) trapbound ; Direct INT 05h to 386SWAT (BOUND Fault) trapinv ; Direct INT 06h to 386SWAT (Invalid Opcode Fault) trapstack ; Direct INT 0Ch to 386SWAT (Stack Fault) trapgenp ; Direct INT 0Dh to 386SWAT (General Protection Fault) trappage ; Direct INT 0Eh to 386SWAT (Page Fault) x15 ; Pass through all INT 15h memory calls gpskip=hlt,ind,ini,ins,outd,outi,outs,crn ;

MS-DOS forever!
