Hi Everybody,

I readed a lot of stuff about exe's format and about what's the best format,
following a interesting discussion that occurs a few weeks ago and I was
wondering that if is possible to do the compiler, when compiling the
program, to create a separated file with Code View like information that
some sort of debug could read and give more information for the programmer
when debuging the the program?

P.S.: Correct me if I am wrong, but the greater disadvantage from COFF
format (used by DJGPP) and PE and NE (used by Windows programs) is the Code
View information that let's you view the source code while you debug the
program.
