Can anyone recommend a good reference/tutorial book on using debug?
Not looking for anything too spectacular, but it would be nice to have
a better understanding of what I am doing when access other ROM
when formatting hard drives, and what else might be possible using debug.
thanks

The only book that I've seen that covers debug in any detail at all is _PC Magazine DOS Power Tools_, published last year for $44.95 (US). It devotes more than 100 pages to debug, covering all the commands and giving lots of sample programs. As DOS books go, it's a bit pricey, but it's better than 1200 pages thick, with a disk with a bunch of small DOS utilities. I'd say it's worth buying for most people who are interested in more than just the basics (copying, deleting, etc.) of DOS --- there's a lot of good info here. ISBN is 0-553-34701-2, and it says on the back "in Canada $54.95" so I would assume you could find a copy there. -- jamesd@techbook.UUCP ...!tektronix!nosun!techbook!jamesd TECHbooks: The Computer Book Specialists - Voice: +1 503 646-8257 12600 SW 1st - Beaverton, OR - 97005
