Hello,
The 386SWAT debugger seems to be able to continue tracing a real mode program (no V86) which switches to protected mode, but I don't really understand how to configure it, and I can't find any example in assembly language.
Please does anyone know how to do this?
Or tell me about another debugger that allows you to change modes during tracing?
THANKS.

For DOS 386, in my opinion, the best is the TD from TASM 5

Thank you, but I don't think Turbo Debugger can trace a program which itself goes into protected mode to execute 32-bit code, without using DPMI or VCPI services. The 386SWAT debugger provides 0x67 interrupts so that the program to be debugged can collaborate with the debugger in order to ask it to interpret the code as 32-bit protected mode at the desired time, but TD does not offer this type of directives, so how would it know that at some point the code should use protected mode selectors, rather than real mode segment registers ?
