Q1: Are there any texts (books, standards) on format of COFF files, how debugging info is represented etc. I am aware that every vendor has unique additions to COFF, so reliable common starting point would be sufficient. Q2: What is the principal difference between sdb & dbx ? I've used both and functionality is generally the same (the commands have different names, but one expects that between releases 2.1.2.3.4 & 2.1.2.3.4a of any software). Is it internal data formats? - if so, I would like to hear more about that (see Q1). -- ############################################################################ # Vladan Djakovic, IDT (Integrated Device Technology), Santa Clara, CA # # (408) 492 8451 ... uunet!idt!vladan (All opinions are mine.
