Subject: STUB and COFF questions
Precedence: bulk

Hi All:

1) Why the stub of the djgpp files says "go32stub, v 2.00" and not 2.01?
2) How can I detect if the stub is for the djgpp 2.00 or 2.01 files? I think
that I can get an accurate detect just looking in the date of creation of
the stub, but what's the date that I can use as thresold?
3) Why the djgpp coff files have creation time 0 in the COFF header? Is that
a bug in ld or is a missconfiguration? I think that's a useful data because
any DOS tool can change the date of the file, but not the date of the COFF.

I got these questions while I was writing a little program to determine if
a file is a DJGPP exe. My tests are more extensive than the ones in
dosexec.c. For example: I search the $Id: ... $ strings and look if the file
is compressed by DJP (stub or stubless version).
