I just purchased PATCHOBJ and Walter e-mailed the utility to me.  I bought this to remove the default library information from several LIB/OBJ files. All I can get is a "Premature end of file."  Is that normal?  Does this mean success?  I can not find a single bit of documentation either on your site nor in the files you sent me.  I would love a little support to get me, your new customer, up and running...

For the sake of documentation...

Microsoft's compiler outputs COFF .obj files and PATCHOBJ expects OMF files. The COFF2OMF utility converts these.  The Microsoft linker will automatically convert the OMF files back to COFF.  This was learned through the help of Walter Bright.

VC5 generates object files in the MS-COFF format. Patchobj only works on the MS-OMF object file format, which the Digital Mars compiler generates.
