[net.micro.pc] Macro/Linker Bug

WANUGA@MIT-XX.ARPA (11/13/83)

From:  Thomas S. Wanuga <WANUGA@MIT-XX.ARPA>

HELP!  I came across a bug in either the Macro Assembler or the
Linker.  My assembly language routine assembles under MASM ver 1.0 and
gives 0 Warnings and 0 Errors.  Then, when I try linking the resulting
.OBJ file, I get the following error message and no .EXE file.

DOS 1.1 LINK message:

Fatal Error:
An internal failure has occurred.
Input File: TERM.OBJ(A) pos: 00406 Record Type: A0

DOS 2.0 LINK message:

Invalid object module
Input File: TERM.OBJ(A) pos: 00404 Record Type: A0

Does anyone know what the problem might be here?  What does the "pos"
number in the error message mean.  Does it mean that the problem is
near that byte in the .OBJ file?  Where can I find out what the
correct format of a .OBJ file is?  Thanks.

Tom

How about posting the source that caused the problem. It may
be that you are trying to do funny things with resetting the
location counter or other such things.
