I used SID for CP/M-80. There is an "equivalent" MS-DOS program, symdeb,
which came with the Microsoft Assembler before Codeview made its appearance.
It was symbolic and had pass points just like SID.

There are many cases where symdeb is superior to codeview or turbo debug
(smaller, ability to ctty, oriented towards assembler code) and I use it
far more often than the other debuggers, although I no longer use the
Microsoft Assembler.
