OK, and the object files. Let me guess:

struct drexec {
  short a_magic;      /* Always 0x601a.  */
  ulong a_text;       /* Size of text segment.  */
  ulong a_data;       /* Size of data segment.  */
  ulong a_bss;        /* Size of bss.  */
  ulong a_syms;       /* Size of the symbol table.  */
  char reserved[10];  /* Always zero.  */
};

What is the format of the symbol table?  What is the name of the symbol
index in the library archive?  Could you please create a library from two
really small (!) object files, plus the source both in C (Pascal, or
whatever) and Assembler.  I will be able to figure out the rest then.

But you will have to be able to find a way to pass parameters on the
stack, not in registers.  Otherwise things won't work.

Ciao

Guido

P.S.: Please make sure that in the object files you use both short symbol
names and long ones.  Is there any limit in the length of a symbol name?
