msdn: An In-Depth Look into the Win32 Portable Executable File Format

"A good understanding of the Portable Executable (PE) file format leads to
a good understanding of the operating system. If you know what's in your
DLLs and EXEs, you'll be a more knowledgeable programmer. This article,
the first of a two-part series, looks at the changes to the PE format that
have occurred over the last few years, along with an overview of the format
itself."


... and later: An In-Depth Look into the Win32 ..., Part 2

"This month in Part 2 the various sections of the executable are explored.
The discussion includes the exports section, export forwarding, binding,
and delayloading. The debug directory, thread local storage, and the resources
sections are also covered."

"After these proposals were submitted, the response came back from Microsoft
that although the fixes were valid, unfortunately the code was already written
and was going to be shipped in the next service pack. End of discussion. It
wasn't even in a shipping product yet, but the specification was determined
to be unchangeable as they didn't want to change their existing code."

Joel Spolsky: Why are the Microsoft Office file formats so complicated?

"The only possible conclusion is this. It's very helpful of Microsoft to release
the file formats for Microsoft and Office, but it's not really going to make it
