Linkers and Loaders
These are the manuscript chapters for my
Linkers and Loaders, published by Morgan-Kaufman.
See the book's web site for
ordering information.
The text in these files is the unedited original manuscript.
M-K has fine copy editors, who have fixed all the
minor typos, spelling, and grammar errors in the printed book,
but if you come across factual errors I'd still appreciate help
getting all the details of linking and loading as
complete and correct as possible.
I will collect errata and fix them in subsequent printings.
The figures here are scans of hand-drawn sketches which have been
redrawn for the book.
You don't need to tell me I'm a lousy artist.
I already know that.
Please send comments and questions to
johnl-linker@iecc.com.
Thanks!
Chapters are available in an excessive variety of formats.
The troff source is the original.
All the rest are mechanically generated and may have glitches
due to coding errors.
Postscript versions of these files are available, including
the figure sketches.
This makes the postscript files quite large, 5MB apiece for chapters
3 and 4.
If you want to download and print them, they're available in GZIP compressed
form on my FTP server,
along with a table of contents.

I have a mailing list to notify people when new chapter drafts are
available for review.
If you'd like to be on it, enter your address here, or equivalently
mail subscribe to
update-linker-request@gurus.com.
Either way, you'll get a confirmation e-mail to which you'll have to
respond to get on the list.
