In the file DEBUG.TXT on github of DEBUG's repository of commit status 48ae19e0e2a937f99c18ef5a3819bc339992ebe5 there is an error in
line 979.
https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/base/debug/-/blob/master/DOC/DEBUG/DEBUG.TXT

There it is written in line 979:
1078:0102 mov dx,110

The 110 should be replaced with a 109, otherwise the "Hello World" string defined in line 982
is not completely printed if you run that program.

The 110 points to the second o, which means that only the word
"orld" ist printed.

So the line 979 should be corrected to:
1078:0102 mov dx,109

Thus the complete "Hello World" is printed if the code is run.

    A better link can be found by navigating to the latest commit, choosing "Browse files", and then clicking through to the file in question. This link is better in that it will keep pointing to this particular line at this revision, even if subsequent revisions edit or move the line. This is that link for your report: https://github.com/Baron-von-Riedesel/DOS-debug/blob/dbbac633984a877f471a361ec92ef028ac709db0/DEBUG.TXT#L981

      I don't maintain either the gitlab mirror or github repo of (Free)DOS Debug. This mistake does appear to be fixed in the most recent revisions of both however.
