Well, if eight people working for various arms of AT&T can't find it, it
seems like it's time for a shakeup.  I found it with no trouble; at least
for S5R2 on the VAX and the iAPX286, it's in the "UNIX(TM) System V -
Release 2.0 Support Tools Guide", April 1984, 307-108, Issue 2, under the
heading of (surprise!) "The Common Object File Format".  Maybe they've
misplaced it since then.  If so, it's *definitely* time for a shakeup....
