386SWAT Documentation

This protected mode debugger when used in conjunction with 386MAX or any other memory manager provides debugging services to protected mode, virtual 8086 mode programs, Windows 3.1x and Win95/98 programs, and DPMI and VCPI clients while occupying only a few kilobytes of conventional memory. It supports disassembly of the full 386, 387, 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro through the Pentium 4 MMX & SSE instruction set. Note that all of this documentation is included in the download file in HTML format.
