Hello, i'd like to compile my .o files into COFF, instead of the default ELF. I'd look in the manuls...but I don't have them and...my internet connection is worse than 28k ( most of the time, 23k ). The only way i'm posting here is from browser cache!

How do I do this? ( link and compile with NASM and GCC in COFF? ).

with nasm, this is pretty easy : just use -fcoff flag ...

with GCC, you will need DjGPP (the dos/windows port of gnu utilities) which generate COFF ...

afaik, there is no COFF support under linux .. but maybe if you dare recompiling GCC ...
