[comp.sys.encore] more on dynamic loading

martin@iris.ucdavis.edu (Bruce K. Martin Jr.) (10/21/87)

Well, I have only recieved one message in regard to my request for info
on dynamically loading COFF files (there is a COFF version of "ld -A"
with Kyoto Common Lisp that will work on 3B2's).  So it looks like I
am on my own!

Can anyone recomend some literature on the COFF format?  I've got the 
ATT stuff that comes with the Unix Programmer manual.  It is helpfull,
but less than descriptive.  What I really need are descriptions of
the different relocation stuff that is individual to different CPU's
(like how do you handle a PC relative address?).

Thanks!

BTW, I'm working on a NS32332 system (Encore Multimax).
