I have some programs written with DJGPP... They're capable to show COFF file
contents. Also there is a program ala simple linker. I.e. it makes plane
executable out of a COFF file containing relocation info. Just visit my site
and download them, if you want to see some working code. Btw, all the
sources are based on the information available at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/coff/.

Good Luck
