Would debug be a good idea?
So I'm programming right now, well experimenting and had an idea. Say if I wanted to debug a program whilst it was running, would system("debug"); be a good idea? I figured because debug is a DOS command within the System32 directory and I'm programming DOS based programs(written in C), that it might work. Does that sound like a stupid idea? Maybe I might sound like a noob when I ask this question, but I'm so sure it might work. I would like to hear your advice. Cheers.

Use your IDE's debugger. If it's your own program you can run it in debug mode. If it's not, you can attach it to an already-running process, I think.
