I've tried to make signature files for msvcrt from vs 2003, however neither plb nor pcf can read the lib. Says that it's not OMF format file or not COFF module. I know that m$ uses their own coff-like format, but how to make it compatible with flair? My IDA ver is 4.5.1.770.

Hi omega_red
PLB used for OMF .obj and .lib files. PCF used for COFF .obj and .lib files. The msvcrt lib in VS 2003 is a import lib, not a static lib, so you dont need to create signature for it. IDA will automatic read and apply the export functions.
I have created the IDS file for MFC71 and signature file for VC71 (VS 2003) CRT, and posted it on the ExeTools forum. You can search and download it.

Yeah, I knew I got something wrong
Thanks for the info.
