Managing static libraries

[sapero]

this is one of my samples (tests) with coff libraries and objects.
This demo takes the uuid.lib library as input file and extracts all global members as an include file
No need to use link.exe or ar.exe - only readfile()

Documentation for all coff formats can be downloaded as .doc file from http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/firmware/PECOFF.mspx

Studying this document i am able to create new static libraries, adding, removing, renaming, extracting... object files, and fixing 'protected' libraries from extracting

edit: source moved to attached file (copy/paste problems)

Hmm trying to compile this caused the compiler to crash.

Yeh that fixed it sapero. Verry cool app, verry fast too. It managed to create the 56195 line file in a few seconds.
