#176 OBJ Section 0x88 Error?

[Anonymous]

While writing a runtime relocator for my hobby OS, I
noticed upon a minor difference between the docs I
have and NASM output for section type 0x88 (COMENT)
using -obj output.

My docs state that the string data's length is calculated
as record_length - 3, and that the string should not
contain a length byte. NASM's output for this section
contains a string length byte before the string (so the
string data is effectively record_length-4).

I dont know if this is a documentation error or a NASM
error, but I wanted to check into it.

Cheers
