I don't think so.  Sdb knows the types of all the variables in the pro-
gram and the line numbers corresponding to various sections of object
code.  Sdb and dbx have different sets of commands (dbx has simple, "user
friendly" commands while sdb has a larger and more cryptic command set),
but the symbolic abilities of both debuggers are similar.
