Can anyone recommend any OS literature that delves into : the COFF and specifically, how to examine its contents? The best available book I found so far is: Understanding and Using COFF O'Reilly & Associates, Inc. ISBN 0-937175-31-5 The book also includes a basic program to view the contents of COFF files. I don't know if the program is available via ftp somewhere, however, if you want it I hacked it in from the book and made some improvements. If you want it just send me an email. -- Udo Munk udo@mwc.com or udo@umunk.GUN.de, CIS: 100021,2515
