Re: Strange flag in WIN32 PECOFF


Hi, Aaron

Is it because that the PECOFF format should follow the Microsoft's
specification? If that, I don't think it will do good. Moreover, barely the compatibility in the formats is not enough, MSVC produces objects
that have too much *features* especially the C++ ones. IMHO, only the
PE *executale* file strictly following the specification is enough.
and the objects could be compatible with the DJGPP's.


only suggestion,
