COFF (Common Object File Format) was documented in Chapter 9 of the Transition Aids manual that was published at the time of introduction of System V. Is it described in the current System V documentation? Where? So far, eight people at AT&T Customer Service, Bell Laboratories, and 800/828-UNIX have not been able to help me find it. Thanks....

Well, if eight people working for various arms of AT&T can't find it, it seems like it's time for a shakeup. I found it with no trouble; at least for S5R2 on the VAX and the iAPX286, it's in the "UNIX(TM) System V - Release 2.0 Support Tools Guide", April 1984, 307-108, Issue 2, under the heading of (surprise!) "The Common Object File Format". Maybe they've misplaced it since then. If so, it's *definitely* time for a shakeup.... -- Guy Harris {ihnp4, decvax, seismo, decwrl, ...}!sun!guy guy@sun.com (or guy@sun.arpa)
