DOS ain't dead

freeDOS DEBUG : "N" command bug (Developers)

posted by Ninho , 12.03.2011, 11:50

Another annoyance : the N command has 2 goals - one, to set a filename for L and W commands; second, to (re)set the debuggee's command line arguments. MS-Debug and DRDOS SID both copy the given argument to the debuggee's PSP (and also to its father's), completed with EOL, properly filling the byte count
at PSP:80h (the so-called DTA). Unfortunately, fDEBUG does only the first half of its duty :(

I make no promise to even look for a fix, at the moment, sorry, there are more urgent things to be done. Just reporting for the record and if the Herr Maintainer doesn't, hopefully someone with time in their hands will find themselves amused at debugging debug ;=)
