?
Displays a list of debug subcommands.
Remarks
- Windows XP and the Windows Server 2003 family of products do not use this command. It is included only to preserve compatibility with existing MS-DOS files, but it has no effect at the command line because the functionality is automatic.
- Debug.exe adds the two parameters you specify and then subtracts the second parameter from the first. The results of these calculations are displayed on one line: first the sum, and then the difference.
Examples
Type:
h19f 10a
Debug.exe performs the calculations and displays the following result:
02A9 0095
