Binary to MS COFF object file converter

[Vortex]

This tool converts any binary file to a linkable MS COFF object file. The new version can create 64-bit MS COFF object modules.

Usage :
   

Code Select Expand

bin2coff srcfile.ext output.obj label architecture

srcfile.ext :   Any kind of binary file

output.obj :   The name of the object file
label :   A label name presenting the embedded binary data to the linker
                            Notice that the label should be prefixed with an underscore depending
                            on the calling convention of your development tools.

        architecture    :   32 or 64 depending on the target platform

Asmc, Poasm and Uasm are providing the INCBIN statement to embed binary files into object modules. Since Masm does not provide any command like INCBIN for this purpose, I decided to code this small tool.

Thanks for the source (I'm looking into obj and lib files at the moment).
One problem, CreateFile returns -1, not 0 on error.
