[comp.sys.mips] Question on ".file" assembly directive

ham@Neon.Stanford.EDU (Peter R. Ham) (01/11/90)

What effect does this directive have on the resulting object file?
I've noticed that object files that include text sections store the
name of the temporary assembly file that they were produced from.
At what location in the text section are these names stored? I'm 
trying to compare object files excepting temporary file names and
timestamps. Is there a convenient way to do this?
