Here's one for the Tandy Xenix gurus: I'm trying to read, and possibly dissassemble, object (*.o) files for Tandy Xenix. So far, I have the code to read the header structure, the symbol and relocation tables, and an opcode table for the 68000. But I'm having a problem with the file format. Does anyone happen to know how the loader determines the size, if any, of ASCII text strings lurking between a binary file header and the actual start of the text area? I know this is probably a stupid question to those in the know, but, I have just about thumbed my dev. sys. manuals to death, and still can't find any useful information about it. Am I looking at the info, but just not understanding it? (That's very possible) All I need to do is compute the actual start point, from the beginning of the binary file, of the text area. I have (I think..) the rest of it pretty much nailed (then again, maybe not). Thanks in advance. -John (it never ceases to amaze me how an inanimate object composed of plastic, silicon, and metal can make me feel so damn stupid :-| ) -- | John M.
