First off, there are no D extensions to the OMF. There was an extension added 
around 1993 or so to support long identifier names. There were also a couple 
extensions to the codeview debug format, which are documented in the ABI.

My offer is if there is something specific about the OMF files generated that I 
can explain to him, I'd be happy to do so. My mail is walter followed by 
digitalmars.com.
