It's all in the Acorn C/C++ DDE documentation.

It is different.

Get my !ARMalyser from http://www.armclub.org.uk/free as that will 
disassemble AOF files and annotate their structure. I recommend using 
ARMalysers 'assembler' output (rather than 'disassembler') as this will 
closely match the assembler listings you can get the compiler to output.
