SADE uses the same shell technique that MPW does. As such, it doesn't really
compare with the THINK debugger. The features are pretty much the same. However,
while THINK is easier to use, SADE is scriptable and potentially more 
powerful.

The formats for the SADE object records generated by the compilers and linker
are documented in Appendix H of the MPW 3.0 manual.
