Summary: Try Intel for OBJ format

The Microsoft .obj format is a bastardized and partial implementation of
the Intel OBJ format.  Microsoft uses comment records for some info, and
generates incompatible DEBUG records.  Intel has a document which describes
the .obj format in obscure and painful detail.  Combined with the PC-Tech
article (and reading object files, disassembling a compiler, etc. :-))
decoding or generating the .obj file should be a snap.  

My copy of the document cost about $18.00 + tax, etc.  Call Intel on
Bowers Ave. in Santa Clara, CA.
