Title: Info on object formats??
Post by: Hardboy on February 21, 2003, 02:29:05 PM

I´m currently writing a loader, and would therefore like to know some info on the different object formats of amiga filetypes.

Does anyone know where to obtain that info??

That info is in the AmigaDOS Reference manual published by Bantam during Commodore days.

NOT an exciting read, but handy for that sort of info. It might also be in the Guru book by Ralph Babel (but I have not read it, so don't know for sure).

I think there is an online version of the AmigaDOS manual floating around although I don't know how legal it is (I own a copy by the way, no flames please!).

If you mean executable files, see:

HunkFunc.lha (http://www.aminet.net/dev/moni/HunkFunc.lha)

Although not Amiga specific, the www.wotsit.org site is excellent for available file formats. All programmers should check it out.
