SUMMARY

The relocation table offset gives the relative byte offset from the beginning of the run file to the relocation table. The relocation table offset can be found by using the EXEHDR utility.

The relocation table contains a list of pointers to the locations within the .EXE image that must be adjusted when the .EXE is loaded. These locations are references to the program segments and must be adjusted because the program can be loaded starting at any segment address.
