I don't actually have the book, but I believe there is a "Nutshell" book on COFF
format.  The "Nutshell" books are some of the best books on some of the least
documented features of UNIX.  There are also "Nutshell" books on Awk, Lex/YACC,
Internet Networking, and others (I didn't find the Networking book to be up to
their standards, but that's me).  I think it's "Nutshell" as in "UNIX in a
Nutshell".  You would recognize the books as spiral-bound softcover books with
pictures of unusual animals (mostly rodents, I think 8-) on them.

Anyway, the books are put out by O'Reilly & Associates, 632 Petaluma Ave.,
Sebastopol, CA  95472, (800)338-6887 (US only), (707)829-0515, (707)829-0104
(fax).
