Abstract
The physical memory of a computer may not be directly accessable to the operator during the operation of a program due to the operational requirements of the operating system. Direct access to the physical memory of the computer during such operation may be possible through the aliasing of the physical memory locations and the creation of virtual alias addresses which will then give operator the necessary control to directly access any memory location thereby permitting the debugging of the program.
