Hello,


I have several questions about the COFF format.
I have the Microsoft specification. There seem to be some errors in it.


1) In section 4.1. the value for IMAGE_SCN_MEM_PURGEABLE and
IMAGE_SCN_MEM_16BIT is the same. Is this correct or is this an error ?


2) Also, in section 5.4.3. If I understand correctly the value for a
function should be 0x200 (MSB : 0x02, LSB : 0x00). However, the say in
the same section that it is 0x20.


Do you know where I can find other COFF spec (for the System V R3 e.g.)


Thanks.
[Gintaras' book on COFF had a spec for SVR3 COFF, but it's long out of
print. -John]
