Hi,

  I am working on archiver to work with ELF object files on windows. I
read that the archive string table member, for longer names i.e. "//",
in windows COFF or ELF archives, should be the third member in the
archive.

Can somebody help me on these things
1. Why there is a restriction that string table member should be the
third member on windows?
2. Can I place the string table member just after the symbol directory
entry?

Advance thanks for your help.

Regards,
Ramana
