02.01 The Diskettes

     Soft-ICE comes on either a 5 1/4" diskette or a 3 1/2" diskette.

     When you run Soft-ICE, the name of the person that your copy of
     Soft-ICE is licensed to is displayed on the screen as a deterrent to
     software pirates. The Soft-ICE diskette is not physically
     copy-protected for your convenience. For our convenience, we
     appreciate your high regard for our licensing agreement. It is
     important to make a duplicate copy to be used only for backup in case
     the original diskette is damaged.

     A directory of a Soft-ICE diskette will show the following files:

      S-ICE.EXE    is the Soft-ICE program.
      S-ICE.DAT    is the Soft-ICE initialization file.
      LDR.EXE      is the Soft-ICE program and symbol file loader.
      MSYM.EXE     is the Soft-ICE symbol file creation program.

      EMMSETUP.EXE is a program that allows you to customize the way your
                   system uses expanded memory.
      UPTIME.EXE   sets the time to that of the real time clock.

      README.SI    is a text file containing information about Soft-ICE
                   that did not make it into this manual.

      SAMPLE.EXE   is a short demonstration program that is used with the
                   tutorial.

      SAMPLE.ASM   is the assembly language source file for the
                   demonstration program.
      SAMPLE.SYM   is the symbol file for the demonstration program.

02.02 Loading Soft-ICE

     Before running Soft-ICE, copy all of the files on the distribution
     diskette to your hard disk.

     These files should be placed in a directory that is accessible through
     your alternate path list.

     S-ICE.EXE can be loaded as a device driver in CONFIG.SYS or can be run
     as a program from the command line. To use many of Soft-ICE's
     features, S- ICE.EXE must be loaded as a device driver in CONFIG.SYS.

     Note : If you do not have extended memory, Soft-ICE can NOT loaded as
     a device driver. Instead, it must be run from the DOS prompt.

02.02.01 Loading Without Extended Memory

     When no extended memory is present, Soft-ICE loads it at the highest
     memory location possible. The memory used by Soft-ICE is then 'mapped
     out', making it invisible to DOS programs. Since the total memory
     visible to DOS its programs is less after Soft-ICE loads, it is
     recommended that you load Soft-ICE before any TSR's or control
     programs.

     If you do not have extended memory, simply enter: S-ICE

02.02.02 Loading With Extended Memory

     Loading Soft-ICE with extended memory can be done in one of two ways:

     1. Install S-ICE,EXE as a driver in CONFIG,SYS, This method is
     necessary if you will be using one the following capabilities:

        * Sharing memory with program that use extended memory by using ROM
          BIOS calls (VDISK.SYS, RAMDRIVE.SYS, HIMEM.SYS, cache programs,
          etc.)
        * Using Soft-ICE's EMM 4,0 capability,
        * Using Soft-ICE for symbolic or source level debugging.
        * Using back trace ranges.
        * Using Soft-ICE with other Nu-Mega products such as Magic CV.

     When loaded as a driver, Soft-ICE allocates a portion of extended
     memory for itself and its associated components so there can be no
     memory conflicts. S-ICE.EXE must be loaded in CONFIG.SYS before any
     other driver that allocates extended memory is loaded (e.g.,
     VDISK.SYS, RAMDRIVE.SYS). Generally Soft-ICE works best if it is the
     first loadable device driver installed in CONFIG.SYS. For users that
     are new to Soft-ICE it is advisable to load Soft-ICE as the first
     driver in CONFIG.SYS with the following statement:

     device=drive:\path\S-ICE.EXE /SYM 50

     Drive and path specify the d
