The Microsoft Pascal Compiler Version 4.00 does not generate symbolic
debugging information for Pascal units. As a result, when tracing
through a Pascal program unit, any attempt to access local variables
by using trace/watchpoints, dumps, examines, etc. yields a "symbol
unknown" error.

The only workaround is to transform the program units into modules.
