Does Visual Studio 2003 Debugger read _NT_SYMBOL_PATH

Hi, Does the Visual Studio 2003 Debugger read the environment variable
_NT_SYMBOL_PATH to load Windows Symbols. For example if this variable is set
to

SRV*c:\websymbols*http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols

then will the debugger retrieve symbols from the Microsoft Symbol Server. In
a test I did this seems to work but I have seen posts indicating that this
is not supported. Also if this is supported, should we upgrade the
symsrv.dll that ships with Visual Studio .2003 to the one in Debugging Tools
for Windows

Thanks

-Ajay
