Does Coff2omf convert static libs or only linking libs?
If I apply "link /lib /convert xxx.lib" to a Coff lib, it's equal that this lib
is in New Coff format or in old Coff format?

Thanks

I don't understand your question.

 If I apply "link /lib /convert xxx.lib" to a Coff lib, it's equal that


 is in New Coff format or in old Coff format?


It convertes from the Microsoft version of Coff, if that's what you mean.

Can I convert static libs in COFF format (not linking lib for DLL) with
Coff2OMF?

If a lib is in old COFF format, can I convert that with "link /lib /convert
xxx.lib"?
How do I know if a lib it's in old COFF format or new COFF format?


Thanks.

 Coff2OMF?


Most of the time it will work. It's mostly intended for use with import
libraries.

 If a lib is in old COFF format, can I convert that with "link /lib


 xxx.lib"?


I don't know what you mean by "old" or "new" coff format. COFF2OMF works on
the Microsoft version of COFF.

 How do I know if a lib it's in old COFF format or new COFF format?


 Thanks.
