Does anyone have an online description of the Microsoft OMF standard (the object code file format used for .OBJ files generated by the Microsoft compilers)? Alternatively, any suggestions as to where I should look for this? We have a series of libraries compiled for Microsoft C 5.0 that I would like to use under QNX. The library writers don't support QNX, and purchasing a source license just to recompile them seemed a bit expensive. On a related note, has anyone ever done this? Are there any reasons this might be a silly idea? It seemed to me that there shouldn't be anything OS-specific in those libraries that could not be gotten around by supplying a version of any missing system calls that the libraries might have in them...

Your Microsoft Technical Support should be able to help, but given my experiences with such offices, it may be quicker to buy the MS-DOS Encyclopedia; this has a section defining the OMF (hey, perhaps that's what they want you to do :-)). The MS-DOS Encyclopedia retails (in softback form) for just under 50 pounds sterling over here, as a rough guide. Sorry, I have never heard of an online version; that's why I decided to answer anyway. ---------------------+----------------------------------------------------- Bob Eager | University of Kent at Canterbury rde@ukc.ac.uk | +44 227 764000 ext 7589 ---------------------+----------------------------------------------------- *** NB *** Do NOT use the return path in the article header *************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
