- * We only use the coff headers to tell the kernel
- * how to exec the file.  Therefore, the only fields that need to 
- * be filled in are the scnptr and vaddr for the text and data
- * sections, and the vaddr for the bss.  As far as coff is concerned,
- * there is no symbol table, relocation, or line numbers.
- *
- * A normal bsd header (struct exec) is placed after the coff headers,
- * and before the real text.  I defined a the new fields 'a_machtype'
- * and a_flags.  If a_machtype is M_386, and a_flags & A_ENCAP is
- * true, then the bsd header is preceeded by a coff header.  Macros
- * like N_TXTOFF and N_TXTADDR use this field to find the bsd header.
- * 
- * The only problem is to track down the bsd exec header.  The
- * macros HEADER_OFFSET, etc do this.
