[alt.msdos.programmer] Turbo Debugger and the 80286

rowley@umn-cs.cs.umn.edu (Henry A. Rowley) (06/27/90)

I have read that the new Turbo Debugger can use the protected mode on the
80286 to provide more space for the programs to be debugged.  Does anyone
know any specifics on this?  In particular, does the debugged program run
in protected mode, or just the debugger?  Can the protected mode provide
hardware assistance for breakpoints?

Please E-mail any responses to me, and I will post a summary in this newsgroup.

Thanks in advance.

From what I understand, Turbo Debugger uses To run itslf, allowing
programs the full amount of memory they would normally have...

You'll need at least 640 extended memory to run the debugger in
protected mode.
