I was testing a bit to read in an LX file and I'm not sure how to proceed after I have read in the header
(LX header, the one after the dos stub header).

How to handle relocations in the exe?

This is only testprogram right now. And how to set upp the registers for a LX program. Let's say with a
simple "Hello World" program.

I have looked in the inf-files, such as omf.inf, lx.txt etc. But it's very compressed reading and I would
like some simple examples to look at. Does anyone know some good links?

Thanks. That's going to be helpful. Strange how a DOS-extender can use LX files, anyway. It's a bit hard
to read (only assembler), but it's better than just the "raw" spec files on LX.

Heh. LX is just format. You can store code in any (or most) format you want. Only code determine
execution environment.
