I have a license for VS6, VS7, and VS8.  I can only compile with VS6, 
but I've found I can debug with VS8 which has a much nicer debug 
interface than VS6, but VS8 tells me the symbols compiled into 
wireshark's DLLs are in an obsolete format -- which means I can't add 
breakpoints to files outside of my project.  VS6 works with the symbols 
just fine, and I don't currently have VS7 installed to check on that one 
(it has a better debugger than 6 as well, but I don't know that I really 
want to make more space for it just for debugging purposes).

  So, in short, does anyone have a good explanation for why VS8 doesn't 
recognize/allow me to use the symbols in wiresharks binaries -- symbols 
that were likely created using VS6 (I'm dropping my plugin into a 
release build of wireshark and debugging that, rather than my own build 
of wireshark), and is there a workaround?
