  13. Hi there
  14.  
  15. I'm doing research into distributed and concurrent systems, and I'm trying to
  16. write a program which will load in a .o file and then execute functions
  17. from that file.
  18.  
  19. I've got the (struct exec) stuff read in (as described in a.out.h), but I'm
  20. unsure how to access the symbol/string tables, and how to convert a_entry field
  21. to an address to jump to.
  22.  
  23. Any help appreciated.
  24.  
  25. Followups to comp.unix.questions.
  26.  
  27. Thanks,
  28. Murray
