As I understand it, td32 is a Windows console program, that runs fine
from the Win95/98 command prompt. I used it with both real Windows
programs and with Windows console programs. 
What exactly do you mean by "that only runs at a DOS prompt"? A  DOS
box in Windows, or a standalone DOS without Windows?
What exactly do you mean by "kills the system".

Are you using an old Turbo debugger, or the new td32.exe ?
