Summary: HELP! How do I find out more about COFF formats?
Keywords: HELP! How do I find out more about COFF formats?

I need to be able to examine the contents of a COFF format object file.
However,  my OS books don't even mention the format since they are mostly
theory-only.  Can anyone recommend any OS literature that delves into
the COFF and specifically, how to examine its contents?

Thanks,
Frank

 OK, I admit it:  My girlfriend's just an object to me.  
 Unfortunately, there is some information hiding, but 
 thankfully, she's fairly encapsulated, nicely modular, and 
 has a very well defined interface! =)
