I have the Computer Innovations C86 compiler and the Intel Fortran compiler on a machine running CPM86. My problem is that the C86 compiler produces object modules for the Digital Research Linker and the Fortran compiler produces object modules for the Intel linker. The Intel linker came with the Fortran compiler, but the C86 compiler did not come with a linker (I didn't expect it to). Now I would like to link C86 programs with Fortran subroutines. It seems that what I need is some sort of translator to create Intel-type object modules from Digital Research object modules. Does such an animal exist?? If so, where might I get it?? I realize that I can just go out and buy the Digital Research linker, but that would still leave me with incompatible object modules. Another possibility would be a translator from the C86 object modules to the Intel format object modules. The C86 compiler produces its own variety of object module, which is then translated to the Digital Research format. Thanks, John

The most recent release of C86 includes the DR linker. If you send in for an update you should be all set. Hubert Daugherty hd@rice.arpa

Actually, while I have never had an occasion to try the experiment, it looks from the manual as if the DRI linker (LINK86) is able to handle both DRI and (at least some) Intel formats.
