In the ICD product catalog (88-89) the SpartaDOS X cartridge states that the
"file loader supports relocatable files and symbolic linking".  What is the
format of the relocatable files which this loader supports? I want to write
a macro assembler/linker and I would like its relocatable files to conform
to whatever the "standard" format is on the Atari 8-bit for relocatable files.
I had already considered an object file format for use with a linker, but it
would be a better if I could use some sort of standard format which would be
able to take advantage of file loader of SpartaDOS X.  If there isn't a
standard, what is the format of the files that ICD is supporting?  Am I
misinterpretting what ICD means by "relocatable files and symbolic linking"?

Any information would be appreciated.
