- The -e switch must specify the same amount of environment space as the
- /e: line on your SHELL= in CONFIG.SYS. Do they agree on how big the
- environment is?
-
- Also I have found that TDH386 fails when DOS is loaded HIGH (via
- DOS=HIGH), so don't do that.

-
- I used TD386 when trying to debug UART communication routines. Only
- TD386 allowed me to single-step through ISR routines (wow!!).
