This manual serves as both an introduction to the basic functions of TOPS-10 DDT and a reference guide to its commands. It covers:
- Getting Started: Loading DDT, basic debugging functions, and a sample session using MACRO-10.
- Command Syntax & Input: How to enter DDT commands and evaluate expressions.
- Memory Operations: Displaying and modifying memory, display modes, and searching for data patterns.
- Execution Control: Starting, stopping, single-stepping, and using breakpoints (including conditional breakpoints).
- Symbol Manipulation: Creating, defining, and listing symbols.
- Patching: Inserting and testing new instructions without reassembling.
- Special Variants: Brief introduction to FILDDT (for disk files) and EDDT (for monitoring).
- Extended Addressing: Use of DDT in non-zero sections.
The manual is intended for users familiar with TOPS-10 and MACRO-10 programming.
