Hi there:
Does any one out there know where I can find the information about 
the format of the msdos object codes? 

Assume that I want to write the 'link' program for myself, where I can get 
the information about the file format of the object codes generated
by any C++/C/MASM compiler/interpreter. 

Any information would be appreciated.

This question comes up so frequently it should be in the FAQ.

I use: "The Microsoft Object Module Format (OMF)" from the Languages
Utilities Group, Microsoft. Printed Nov 22, 1991. I assume you can get
it by calling up Microsoft.

It is based on an earlier Intel Technical Specification 121748-001.

It does not include extensions made by Borland nor extensions made by IBM
for OS/2 2.0.

As far as I have been able to determine, there is no spec for the variant
of COFF used by Microsoft for NT.
