I've noticed a lot of variation in the MacsBug symbol formats generated by
various compilers.  THINK C, the only one I use personally, generates finite-
length (I think it's 6 or 8 characters), all-caps symbols.  Recently I found
a program with quite long (>15 character) mixed case symbols.

What is the mechanism used by MacsBug to handle imbedded debugging information?
Also, it seems to me that a lot of final-distribution programs still have the
debugging info present.  This is how I found out the two Wizard passwords to
MacMoria....
