[comp.os.msdos.programmer] MSC 6.0 and Turbo Debugger

jwhite@com50.c2s.mn.org (Jeff White) (09/22/90)

Has anyone had any luck converting a MSC 6.0 executable with TDCONVRT.EXE
to be used with Turbo Debugger 2.0?  It seems that TDCONVRT does not
understand the latest Codeview format.

There were some changes in the Codeview format for MSC 6.0. If you
look at the file dates on the MSC 6.0 and the TD 2.0 executables
you will notice about five days difference -- Not a whole lot of
time for Borland to reverse engineer the undocumented changes and
get them into TDCONVRT :-).

Anyway, BORLAND has posted a new version of TDCONVRT on their
Compuserve forum for downloading. If you don't have access to
that give tech support a call. Actually, since it is posted
on a public forum, it's probably ok for me to upload it to the
net -- Watch this space for further developments :-)
