Hi! I paid attention to the new update of compiler for С166. OMF-166 library file format (*.lib) has been changed. Where could I find materials about this new format? Or with whom could the new
Thank you for the information. I create GUI utility (analog of lib166.exe) for operanion with 166 libraries. While testing program with remote beta-tester а library was received with new record types. Ther is no description of them in the manual. I put examples of some:

There are a number of proprietary record types in all object module formats. They "secret" records contain dependency information, source browser details, and so on. This information is not available to the general public. The record length and a checksum are encoded into each record so you can safely verify that a record is valid and you can skip over the ones you don't know how to interpret. Jon
