Any pointers would be helpfull. > > Todd Krein > vizard@dartvax There is an article in the October 1985 PC Tech Journal entitled ".OBJ Lessons." It is quite informative, providing that you can get your hands on that back issue... -- Mitchell McLain ...hplabs!tektronix!sequent!gssc!mmm Opinions are my own, not those of GSS (they're happy about that).

Microsoft uses comment records for some info, and generates incompatible DEBUG records. Intel has a document which describes the .obj format in obscure and painful detail. Combined with the PC-Tech article (and reading object files, disassembling a compiler, etc. :-)) decoding or generating the .obj file should be a snap. My copy of the document cost about $18.00 + tax, etc. Call Intel on Bowers Ave. in Santa Clara, CA. -- Mike Eager
