Hello:
It seems that this is the first question into the new OSDev web site...
I just need information about how to write a DJGPP COFF loader, I have read the document posted at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/coff/ but I think it have not enough information.

Re: DJGPP COFF
Take a look at the COFF and PE spec at Microsoft.
It's a Word document but after using Open Office to export to PDF it's pretty readable.

Actually this (http://alexfru.chat.ru/los4d_manual.html) might be just what you are looking for. Also check out the COFF link on the left of http://alexfru.chat.ru/eindex.html.

Re: DJGPP COFF
I agree that the DJGPP COFF specification is not very well explained, but after a few readings over it (well, more than few) I realized that it is all I needed to code a simple linker. If it was hevily explained you would need to strip out the words and again you have the bare strucrutes. But this spec really needs some human language around and Microsoft's papers and Alex's tutorial will be of help. Good luck coding!
