- About VoodooSym
-
- When the MPW Linker creates a SYM file, it sets the SYM file's creator to 'sade',
- which is the application signature of the Sade debugger.
-
- VoodooSym patches HSetFileInfo so when the linker tries to set the creator of
- the SYM file to Sade, VoodooSym instead sets the creator to VoodooMonkey.
- Then if you link your program with VoodooSym installed, you can double click
- on the SYM file to launch VoodooMonkey and open the browser for your program.
-
- This works with the MPW 3.3 Linker. Other versions might use a different trap
- to set the SYM file creator, so I don't know if it works for older versions
- of the Linker.
-
- VoodooSym is being made available free of charge to all VoodooMonkey users
- that forgot to send in their product registration cards.
