Strange. I have a nice bin to hex and ascii dump program, and a
FM.com which does binary/hex screen displays. Both show the same code

But debug itself working on itself show something utterly different,
with no ascii text in the given code (and there are wads of it to
handle the /? parameter).

So debug doesn't work on itself!
Well, the Win98 debug is a packed file. So, you would have to step
thru the unpack process to see much of anything useful.

Strange -- I manually unpacked it, and a lot of the strings in the
front of the file disappeared.

A long time ago, back around dos 3.2, I used debug to disassemble
itself. Hmmm, still have the file, from 1991. Ugly. :-)
