I used the Pharlap stuff to convert MSC to OMF back in June '88.  At that
time it was strictly global variables and functions as far as symbols
go.  No types, lines numbers, or locals.  I gave the person at Pharlap
a sample of the output of a COFF to OMF converter I wrote which did
handle line numbers and some types, so it is quite likely that they
have improved the functionality for MSC .OBJ's.

Pharlap was very responsive, as I recall.  They had some trouble
initially with ICE86, which is why I sent samples of COFF converted
to OMF.  The older ICE's make assumptions about OMF that aren't
necessarily true unless you use Intel language products.  I had
already beat my head on this one in making the COFF converter.
