Hi everybody,

Does anybody knows some kind of utility which could change identifier's name
in OBJ file?

E.g., I have OBJ file and want to change '_some_name' to '_another_name'
(public).

Looking forward for an answer,
            Nic Tiger.

Thanks!

But I had 2 problems using it:
1) My OBJ is COFF, not OMF. I translated it via coff2omf, but after applying
patchobj I cannot translate it back into COFF.
2) I tried to patch mangled names (like ?defaultmem  3PAUMemAlloc A), but it
seems that OBJ is not changed.

I solved my problem via changing names in OBJ with FAR text editor, but I
had the restriction on identifier name length, so I changed defaultmem ->
defaultme_ and so.

Thanks again for your reply.

Nic Tiger.
