Even so, you??™ll eventually need to perform some kind of debugging. The
debugging may involve checking inside a file to ensure you aren??™t going to execute a virus. You
may also have to perform some low-level tasks with very old applications to get them to run in the
Server Core environment. The following sections describe the debugging utilities that Server Core
makes available for your use.
Examining, Modifying, and Debugging Files with the Debug Utility
Microsoft originally intended the Debug utility to help developers debug assembly language applications.
You can still use the utility for that purpose, but the number of assembly language programs
still in use is very small. In fact, it??™s likely that you??™ll never see an application originally
written in assembler.
Fortunately, the Debug utility does have other purposes. For example, you can use it to view
hidden information in executable files. Application developers leave many notes inside applications
and it??™s often helpful to view these messages when deciding on the alternative uses of a utility.
You can also locate copyright information in files when you want to know more about the file.
