Does anyone know where one can find documentation of the debug format used in .OBJ files under VMS? Is it available, or is it strictly for DEC internal use? The reason for my interest is some people developing a code generator for the VAX, and it would be nice to be able to use the VMS debugger at a somewhat higher level than at machine-code/ register level... We have yet to find it mentioned in any of the documentation we have avaliable. I know we could ask DEC directly, but I reconed this would be quicker... Thanks for any pointers.

There is no published documentation of the format of the debugger information
(the DST). HOWEVER, if you check the fiche for the debugger, you'll find a
BLISS REQUIRE file (I think) that defines all the various record types. Also
in that file are comments providing a fair amount of documentation of how the
stuff works. This documenation is intended to provide the information needed
for people to create DST's.
