I'm trying to debug a program with the symbolic debugger db that
comes with the Manx package and am having troubles.
I'd like to load the symbols for the program I am debugging but am
not sure how. I believe they are supposed to be with the executable,
but I can't find any options for either the compiler or the linker which
pertain to placing them there for anything other than the source-level
debugger (which unfortunately I don't have).
2nd, Could someone point me towards where to look for documentation
on the Guru numbers? It will hopefully give a clue as to what to look
for. I have most of the manuals but can't seem to find the info I need.
3rd, The compiler does support generating symbols for ROM-wack and since
I plan on using that in the future as well, could someone point me to
the documentation for that as well?
Thanx much,
--j

The option -W of the linker includes Wackable symbol table information in the executable module. When db is in debug mode the module symbol table commands (such as dc) should then work properly.
