Dos debug was the severely limited assembler packaged with most versions of
dos/windows.
As a matter of fact, on Windows 2k, the output of debug is as follows:
C:\>debug

I dumped the range which contains the memory resident area containing serial
port information. Look at the first two words on the 0040:0000 line. It's
"03F8" in transposed format. Mext "02F8" and over past the break you can
see "0378". Those are COM1, COM2, and LPT1 respectively.
In Windows 3.1, there were bugs that prevented some machines from seeing the
com/lpt ports properly on some proprietary (mostly compaq and Advanced
Technology) computers, so you'd have to write "debug scripts" using Dos
Debug. The files would be simple text containing assembler commands piped
through debug to initiate the serial/lpt ports before loading windows so
windows could properly see it.

I was scanning the Clickers website (http://www.clickers.org) to get an
email address and I found the following:
Phyllis Phillips has been a member of the Cajun Clickers for 11 years,
and is serving the
Board of Directors in community relations. Phyllis is active in the
Cajun Clickers Computer
Repair SIG, which recycles computers into the East Baton Rouge Parish
school system, and leads
the QuickBooks SIG. She is also credited with naming our Cajun Clicker
mascot, Dos DeBug!
Wasn't there mention of a similar program from someone here using Linux?
Regards, Dustin
