Debugger

[Massimo]

Ok, I think that even if symbol files are not compatible, to write a converter would 
be a trivial task.... Maybe I'll take a look at it next days, if ida proves functional in 
wine.
Before of that I wanna try your patch with DDD, yesterday I lost one
our before understanding that something was missing :-)
Of course the best would be integrate winedbg functionality in GDB, but I've 
noticed that it's not at all a trivial task....No time at all to look deep into both source 
codes :-(

Thanx again for your help !
