The Symbols Tab
Object file versions
During the load process, a symbol database file with a .ns extension 
will be created by the system. One .ns database file will be created for 
each symbol file you load. Once the .ns file is created, the Symbol 
Utility will use this file as its working symbol database. The next time 
you need to load symbols into the system, you can load the .ns file 
explicitly, by placing the .ns file name in the Load This Object/Symbol 
File For Label field.
If you load an object file that has been loaded previously, the system 
will compare the time stamps on the .ns file and the object file. If the 
object file is newer, the .ns file will be created. If the object file has not 
been updated since it was last loaded, the existing .ns file will be used.
