You may find some interesting information in
	G.R.Gircys, "Understanding and Using COFF," O'Reilly and
	Associates, 1988, ISBN 0-937175-31.5.
which describes System V COFF loading.

[Good suggestion -- though the book is mostly about the details of COFF,
there are several chapters on relocation and linking in general. -John]
