At risk of piling on. I too used DEBUG in my youth to write programs on school computers.
For a change of pace anyone coming here who hadn't heard of DEBUG.EXE? How old are you???
- Shared404 4y agoI did not until about 18 - 20 and only heard of it as a historical artifact. Currently 21.
- EvanAnderson 4y agoWho remembers when it was DEBUG.COM?
- sandos 4y agoI thought everyone did this at that point in time. The most interesting thing I did with debug.exe was to remove the silly write protection our schools PCs had in 7-8th grade and the installed some shareware (I think!) C++ compiler that I had found one the front page of a magazine. I didn't even really program C++ back then, mostly assembly and basic. Removing the write protection was as simple as overwriting an ISR or something similar. It took very little time anyway.
