Well, Micros*ft's MS-DOS Encyclopedia has a good section on the
.OBJ format. You might also want to get a copy of READOBJ.ARC
from wuarchive.
Borland has some extensions to COMENT record type which are
documented in their Open Architecture package.
Basically the .OBJ is built from the Intel Object Module file format
which is simply a record like so:
-----------------------//--------------
! type ! length ! data ! chksum !
----------------------//---------------
Where: type is a byte
length is a word
data is a variable length record which depends upon the
type of the record
chksum is the inverted sum of all the data in the
record modulo 256. (So adding up all the bytes in
the record will get you zero).
