Using MAPSYM

Windows 95 Only

MAPSYM converts the contents of your application's symbol map (.MAP) file into a form suitable for loading with the Microsoft Windows 80386 Debugger (WDEB386.EXE). MAPSYM then copies the result to a symbol (.SYM) file.

The following is the command-line syntax for MAPSYM:

mapsym [/l] [/n] MapFileName
 

/l

Directs MAPSYM to display information on screen about the conversion. The information includes the names of groups defined in the application, the application start address, the number of segments, and the number of symbols per segment.

/n

Directs MAPSYM to ignore line-number information in the map file. The resulting symbol file contains no line-number information.

MapFileName

Specifies the filename for the symbol file that was creating during linking. If you do not give a filename extension, .MAP is assumed. The new symbol file will use the same base filename as MapFileName, but with the .SYM extension.
