I am looking for information on the operation of the BSD linker (ld) when dealing with a.out files and libraries. I have written a small linker capable of linking 2 or more a.out files without libraries. This program appears to work for most cases, however I am having some difficulty correcting references (via the relocation table) for libc.a modules. If anyone knows of a book that covers the BSD a.out format and processing of the linker, I would appreciate the information. If anyone knows of a paper that covers the BSD a.out format and processing of the linker, I would appreciate the information. If anyone knows of a (detailed) writeup that covers the BSD a.out format and processing of the linker, I would appreciate the information. Thanks for any help on the subject. PS: Has anyone read the O'Riley (sp?) and Associates book on the COFF object format? If so, do you recommend it? -- Gary Tyson uucp: ...[!ucbvax]!ucdavis!csusac!tyson
