As a one-time implementor of MOP under DECnet/OSI on VMS, there's no such
thing as far as I am aware.

The MOP server reads normal image files (i.e., as output by the linker or 
whatever).
The choice of what image files to support is left to the system implementer 
based
on what target systems he expects to load - e.g., if you want to load 
systems that
are generally built on Ultrix, you'd better learn how to read Ultrix image 
files, even
if you're VMS.

Wire formats are defined in the DNA spec for MOP, of course.

Any more background about what you're looking at?
