Thanks for sharing, brought back memories of using debug.exe to meticulously type in hex copied from a magazine to generate a .com executable.

Ah, the pre-internet was glorious.



Very cool! I remember using debug.exe to write directly to 0xB0000 which was mapped my Hercules Monochrome card's video buffer. Rocking dual monitors in the late 80s was pretty cool. Later running the CodeView debugger TUI in your external monochrome monitor was quite a luxury.
