I suspect, but have not verified, that this information was carried over to Bantam Book's "The AmigaDOS Manual, 2nd edition" (Bantam Books, New York, NY). The "AmigaDOS Manual" should be available at Amiga dealers and/or Waldenbooks. ----- |\ /| . Ack! (NAK, EOT, SOH) {O o} . ( " ) bryce@cogsci.berkeley.EDU -or- ucbvax!cogsci!bryce U "Keep breathing."

I recomend the Bantam book since it has all the dos stuff rolled into a single manual. Although the manual is still really three manuals, sigh. But at least they're all in one place. ISBN 0-553-34294-0 LIST $24.95. The info you want starts on page 243, Chapter 2 "Amiga Binary File Structure". I've used this very same info to do a compiler with, so I know the info is for real. Albeit a tad hard to grok at times. :) Scott Turner -- UUCP-stick: stride!l5comp!scotty | If you want to injure my goldfish just make UUCP-auto: scotty@l5comp.UUCP | sure I don't run up a vet bill.

There are additional formet elements supported by the blink linker. These are targeted to small model code development. I suggest finding a copy of blink6.7 for documentation on these features. (It appears blink7.0, which will be a Lattice property, will support even more.) <@_@> Remember that a bird in the hand . . . er often leaves a sticky deposit.
