SSD is a code analyser for investigating programs on the IBM PC. It handles 
all 8086 instructions. It does not understand 8087, 80286, 80386 or 80486 
instructions. Packed and encrypted programs are not a problem to SSD. SSD is 
immune to single-step and breakpoint interrupt revectoring, null jumps, 
keyboard disabling and hlt commands. Making SSD suitable for investigating 
computer viruses and other programs which the author doesn't want you reverse-
engineering.
