Two pretty much unrelated questions . . .

1) Is there any documentation (aside from - gulp - going through the
source) for the a.out file format?  This kind of info would be useful for
people that might want to create different compilers that make use of the
go32 extender.  If this DOES require going through the - gulp - sources,
can someone give me a pointer?

2) For the people that are trying to get the dpmi-kinda-compliant go32.com
working: does this DOS extender support floating point emulation?  In
addition, does it support direct access to the < 1M memory space?

Thanks!
