Does anybody out there have any answers to the following questions:

1.  Where can I find the format of .obj files on the IBM?  How about
    library files?

2.  Is there any way to use (for instance) the PASCAL libraries outside of
    PASCAL?

3.  How can I access the basic routines in ROM?  It strikes that this might
    not be feasible if these routines were written up with a short rather
    than a long return.  I hope this isn't the case but don't really know.

4.  Is anybody familiar enough with the BASIC16 object file format to say
    whether it might be feasible to cross compile C to BASIC16 object code
    then run this through a filter to run on the IBM PC?

Any one of these things could come in really handy if I knew the answers.
Thanks in advance for any help.
