I am writing my own assembler (no money to buy) and I would like to
know some more specifics about object file format and executable file
format.

Can anyone mail me a description of any of the more common .o file
formats, and/or a description of the executable file format.  I have
been able to decipher some things on my own using a PD disassembler
and a hex dump program, but this tends to be painful...

Also, I would like to see examples of macros in other assemblers.

Any hints or help would be appreciated!
