Has anyone here tried out the Multiscope debugger? I would like to hear from
someone who has debugged a crash (the kind that requires a cold boot),
in a large DOS
program (~350K). My personal favorite is  Turbo Debugger, but the protection
doesn't seem adequate ... the debugger catches the exception, but
crashes itself.
I was interested in finding out specifically about one of the features
that they
(Multiscope) advertise for, which is "Post Mortem debugging". Apparently, the
debugger catches any stray pointers, and immediately dumps core, which you can
examine later. How useful is this?  
While we are at it, how about BOUNDS-CHECKER from Nu-Mega Technologies?

Thanx a lot for any pointers.
