An unsung hero: The hardworking ELF

This article (which some of you may have seen mentioned on OSNews) gives a brief overview of the history and structure of the ELF executable file format, and has links to additional information as well. It may be of interest to those OS developers who are planning to use ELF as their own executable format.

Is there any more formats than just ELF, a.out, COFF, PE-COFF and Mach-O? Do anyone know any good keyword to search in google for I can find if there is any more different formats, so I can know the (dis)advantage for the each formats?

Thanks,
Joe

I'd like a tutorial, or an information page on developing a simple executable type.. my own ;) sounds good, though it's possible it's too much for me yet..
