We have some internal tools that read the object file, and we are begining our conversion to SR10. One of the tools works like a binder, and will need to understand the new COFF format the Apollo is using. Another tools we have is a propriatary compiler. Does anyone know if there is a published description of the COFF format sr10 uses? I just heard about a new manual titled "Domain OS Design Principles" (pn 14962-a00). Does this have the info I am looking for in it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanx, -Dave Clark ------------------------------------------------------------- Dave Clark ETA Systems, Inc.

Yes, in the manual "Domain/OS Programming Environment Reference" (pn 11010-a00) there is a description of Apollo COFF and the include files that are supplied with sr10 for it. Look at: Chapter 13: Absolute and Position-Independent Code Chapter 14: COFF: Common Object File Format Chapter 15: Calling Conventions The first version of this manual is for the M68K machines, I would expect an updated version to have the PRISM stuff as well. This should provide you with enough info to write a compiler. BTW this manual has excellent chapters on such tools as: make, M4, awk, lex, yacc, and sccs. Dave Funk
