I am trying to write a code generator for an 8086-family chip.


Intel has an object module format especially designed for this chip, which
would be the logical choice for relocatable code. I remember seeing a
description of this in the MS-DOS Programmers Reference 3.2, which is
going back a few years now, but seems to have been left out of V5.0, which
is the current release.


I believe that the format is also described in the MS-DOS Encyclopaedia,
but my opinion is that this is not worth buying for one chapter (the price
in Oz is very expensive).


Does anybody know where I can get a copy of the specification?


Thanks in advance etc.

added a lot to Intel's original spec to support fancy debuggers and library
systems. -John]
