Message-ID: <387@ucrmath.UUCP> Date: 18 Aug 88 23:17:41 GMT Reply-To: hoser@ucrmath.UUCP (Mark Houser) Organization: University of California at Riverside Lines: 17 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. Mark Houser | Department of Mathematics and Computer Science | ucsd!ucrmath!hoser University of California, Riverside |
