[comp.sources.wanted] .REL-file info wanted

josef@un21 (08/15/88)

Hi out there!

As there is no such thing as a "comp.sys.cpm"-newsgroup (at least not
on our machine ;-( ), I'm posting this here:

I own an SB180FX System (anybody reads BYTE?, Steve's build a nice
little machine) which runs a CP/M 2.2 compatible system.
While digging through the software supplied with the system,
I found a couple of ".REL"-Files (apparently libraries).
My question: does anybody out there know the format of these
.REL-files?
It seems they are somehow packed bitwise.

Also, if somebody who also has a SB180FX (preferably with GT180)
would like to contact me? (In Europe You're pretty much cut off
from the information exchange over on the other side of the
Atlantic River).

There are also a couple of public domain programs to read and dis-assemble
the .REL format files. You might try brousing through the SIMTEL20
CP/M archives. The .rel files are produced by 8 bit Microsoft compilers,
and some of the Digital Research}:

How do I get the SIMTEL20 stuff?

of m80,l80,lib80 are given in source form. It's also available
from the CP/M rountable on GENIE.
