[share_ebook] Using SoftICE

Before I start, I just want to issue a quick disclaimer that I used to be in the Driver Group at NuMega and was on the SoftICE team. Obviously, I am quite partial to SoftICE and I just feel that you should be aware of that fact up front.

While it might seem a little weird to admit, but I have always dreams of being omnipotent. I'm willing to settle for only partially omnipotent if I could just have a chance to stop the world every once in a while so I could get a peek under the covers so I could really see what's going on. Up until now, I haven't figured out how to break the laws of physics, but I do know one way to control all life on my computer: Compuware/NuMega's SoftICE! While many people have heard of this magical software called SoftICE, not that many people have seen it. If you have seen it, you might have run out of the room screaming because with all the power of SoftICE, the tradeoff is that it's really hard to use. In this column, I want to introduce what SoftICE is and how to get started using it to help flatten a tiny bit the almost vertical learning curve associated with it.
