In the past, I knew something of the format.  Unfortunately, the only document
I ever saw on it (other than the DEC include files) is a hard copy of the DEC
Pmax assembler guide, that I may have somewhere.

The program mips-tdump.c in the gcc release, in the distant past dumped the
debug tables for MIPS and later Alpha ecoff systems.  Whether it has suffered
bit rot in the 9+ years since I wrote it, I don't know.
