I used debug to brake applications. I had some that copy protection 
made crash...

Just a story. I had to compile a progam to have a computer hard reset.

I first do a basic programm... two lines, but 64k basic to launch.

Then a turbo pascal exe. down to 10K
Tene a macro assembler .com... 2K
then I took a hex program and wrote the code for 
Longjump<hardresetaddr>... 3 bytes, and fast!!
