so i have to write a simple linking loader for SIC/XE in c++ for an assignment ...

now i'm a lil confused about what they mean by "simple linking loader" ... this is what it says exactly ..
"This assignment is to write a simple linking loader for the SIC/XE computer in C++. The input your loader is a file that contains multiple object programs (control sections) which are to be loaded into memory and "linked" together."

thanks guys!

Guess it has to load object files in memory, and put all the addresses right.

okay... i need to deal with the relocation, right?

i was hoping just coz it's "simple"... there might be some simplifications associated with it

the algo says

"if object code is in character form, convert into internal representation"

i'm so confused by that ....
any clues?
