Q1:
Are there any texts (books, standards) on format of COFF files, how debugging
info is represented etc.
I am aware that every vendor has unique additions to COFF, so reliable common
starting point would be sufficient.
Q2:
What is the principal difference between sdb & dbx ? I've used both and
functionality is generally the same (the commands have different names, but
one expects that between releases 2.1.2.3.4 & 2.1.2.3.4a of any software).
Is it internal data formats? - if so, I would like to hear more about that
(see Q1).
