XSYM Foramt
Message #7299
I'm a tool developer very interested in using SYM file based debuggers with THINK C stand alone code resources. Can anyone provide information regarding the XSYM format so that I can right a filter to convert it into straight SYM? I'm also very interested in the protocols involved in creating…
Hello Bernie: I'm interested in the Macintosh positions you are putting together. I have been working as a contract programmer for two years now and before that worked for several software companies. My most recent project was the working on the Japanese version of Symantec's GreatWorks – I converted the…

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.

Have to agree with your comments (and begin _really_ wondering what started this thread off before we all perverted it – nudging the user? huh?). No matter – the only thing I would add (or subtract) is that DOS/Windows won out not because it was cheaper and faster but simply…

There are a small number of vendors, usually very small outfits (often times just the author of the program). There just isn't enough Mac development activity out there to support larger firms (unless its a compiler, and even then its rough). DOS development was no doubt easier than Windows or…

Ha! While I certainly hope this is a major stumbling block for the evil empire, I don't put a lot of faith into Apple's marketing nostrums. Surely Intel has some scheme for notebooks besides the aging (and duplicated) 486 line. Seems like there has to be a future Pentium that…

Richard: Best places for Mac tools (in my experience) are APDA and MacTech magazine. No, there aren't as many available as there are for Windows. I think this stems from the volume of corporate developers using Windows providing a larger market. As far as your friends who developed for Windows…
