Yes, but you can't get that functionality when using ToolServer with any other application. Or, rather, Apple won't say how one could get it as it's fairly obvious that it's possible. -Ken Schalk TMON Pro tech support ICOM Simulations, Inc.

Steve: Does theDebugger now support THINK C 6.0 source debugging from the project? Have you any plans to implement support for THINK's new XSYM external symbol file format (ie… to allow source debugging of INITs and the like written in THINK C)?

I've been seeing a lot of ink about DeBabelizer – a conversion tool reviewed recently in MacWeek. I didn't read it, though, so I can't tell you if it will do what you want.
