+ A good background article on the PE format is Matt Pietrek's
+ March 1994 article in Microsoft System Journal (MSJ)
+ (Vol.9, No. 3): "Peering Inside the PE: A Tour of the
+ Win32 Portable Executable File Format." The info in there
+ has recently been updated in a two part article in
+ MSDN magazine, issues Feb and March 2002,
+ "Inside Windows: An In-Depth Look into the Win32 Portable
+ Executable File Format"
+
