Re: [Freedos-user] Debug bug
Hi, Well, you say you thought the bug was fixed. I'm not sure what that means. Has it been discussed previously? (BTW, sadly, yet again, there is no maintainer for this program. Sorry!) I've only written like two or three debug scripts myself in recent years (e.g. FD Touch). It's not something I do a lot, but it should work (in normal circumstances). echo reinit.scr/ is very cryptic. I can only guess what you (or they) are trying to do here. Guess #1: echo by itself (without a dot at the end) will probably say Echo is ON. I'm not sure that's what you're trying to do. Guess #2: reinit.scr/ will probably choke on the trailing slash. Not sure if that was meant to be a backslash (for subdir) or not. Who knows, maybe MS Debug is more forgiving, but I doubt it.

Re: [Freedos-user] Debug bug
It is a redirect to from a: to c:\temp - MS-DOS Debug deals with as intended (Many, many SIMTEL debug scripts have similar commands).

And I have no idea when he was in contact with Japheth. But that is not Japheth's version. The last version modified by Japheth is 1.25 on iBiblio. This other version is a fork by some other dude (Vernon Brooks??), who (for reasons unknown) didn't care to even target FreeDOS and decided to restrict the license further, so it no longer free/libre software (can't redistribute). Saying source is included might be true, but it's not open source OSI) nor free software (FSF). And actually Japheth's trite remark on BTTR about this very thing is the last I ever heard from him. I have no idea what happened, but his website is long gone as well, and he's (AFAIK) not active at all anymore. If you want his other debugger, check the Wayback Archive for his site.
