- >[Where can I get documentation for Intel 8086 object formats?]
-
- Have you tried Intel yet ? I got a copy of the object file format
- document 3 or 4 years ago from them. It also included a library format
- section, however, at least Microsoft (probably others) like to break
- things in their compilers and fix them in the linker and librarian (read:
- the object and library formats are augmented by them with additional
- record types that are NOT defined in the Intel document), so I'm not
- exactly sure how useful the Intel document is going to be unless you don't
- care about generic compatibility with other compiler vendors.
