Re: PE format executable information: yes!


There is a group called the Tool Interface Standards committee that
produced a solid spec for PE, publicly available (on paper, at least).  
I don't know where to get a copy of the spec online.

Cygnus tried to join the group, but never heard back from them.
Here's my notes.

Open Systems Today, March 1, 1993.  Committee is Borland,
IBM, Intel, Lotus, MetaWare, Microsoft, SCO, Watcom.

Contact: David Bernstein, director of technology at SCO.

Volume 1:  Portable executable format (from Windows NT) and STI (symbol
	   and type information).
Volume 2:  ELF, DWARF, and OMF.

Available from Intel.  +1 800 548 4725
