29. .obj File Format


29.1  INTEL

There are two sources for this information.  The first is available from
Intel.  The Tools Interface Standards Committee has prepared the
following documents:

    ftp://ftp.intel.com/pub/tis/

The readme file in each .zip file states that the document is the
Relocatable Object Module Format Specification, V1.1.

Unfortunately, both files unzip into documents formatted for Postscript
printers.  Adobe's Acrobat can not display them, but Ghostscript can.
If you need GhostScript, you can get it from the following site.  Read
the ftp://ftp.cs.wisc.edu/pub/ghost/aladdin

29.2  MICROSOFT

The second is from Microsoft.  This file is located at:

    ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/ss0288.exe

This file expands into ascii text files that are the Microsoft Product
Support Services Application Note: Relocatable Object Module Format.
These files date from 1992.  Also included are the .lib file format and
the CodeView extensions.

29.3  COFF format

This information is specific for DJGPP COFF but is this the same as used
by Microsoft (I believe)
