Information about the base .OBJ format can be found in Intel's document number #121748-001, {8086 Relocatable Object Module Formats} (not verified). Both Microsoft and Borland have extended the .OBJ format, as has IBM for OS/2; and according to the MS-DOS encyclopedia, Microsoft doesn't actually use all the listed formats. Microsoft-specific .OBJ formats: * A 45-page article can be found in the {MS-DOS Encyclopedia}, ISBN 1-55615-049-0, now out of print. * "Microsoft Object Module Format (OMF)" Specification, 22 Nov 1991, was published by the Microsoft Languages Group (not verified). Borland-specific .OBJ formats: * Open Architecture Handbook. The Borland Developer's Technical Guide, 1991, no ISBN. Chapter 2, "Object file contents", (pages 27-50) covers the comment records sent to the object file by Borland C++ version 3.0 and other Borland compilers. The comment records mostly contain information for the Borland debugger (not verified). A "tutorial on the .OBJ format" comes with the VAL experimental linker, downloadable as <ftp://garbo.uwasa.fi/pc/assembler/>.
