Dear users, is it possible to use the debug command from MS-DOS from within dosbox? I have to program assembler code applications for school on a 8086 in MS-DOS debug and was wondering wether it was compatible with dosbox or not?

Thanks!

Maybe it's compatible but I doubt that it will run in DOSBox since MS DOS utilities usually have a version check but you can try it.

I'd personally prefer to use an assembler and linker to write these apps since it is generally "complicated" to write them with the MS DOS debugger. 😜
It's funny if you have finished the app and you notice that you have forgotten 1 or 2 instructions in between 😁 .

Yep, he's right. Just tried it. Odd, Dos 6.22 requires dosver whereas XP's does not. Good info.
