Re: CodeWarrior objects -> LinuxPPC

I presume that you mean CW on MacOS.
They generate PEF files, the details of which are described on Apple's developer
site:
<http://developer.apple.com/techpubs/mac/runtimehtml/RTArch-89.html>
and there is some code (IOPEFloader.c, if memory serves) on Apples darwin site:
<http://publicsource.apple.com/projects/darwin/>
