[net.micro.amiga] BLink - a new Amiga linker

walker@sas.UUCP (Doug Walker) (08/18/86)

Tired of waiting for ALink?

Running out of space for your Lattice executables?
  

Well, the Software Distillery has the answer for you:
  

                  BLink
  

o  Up to four times faster than ALink FASTER;  generally twice as fast.

o  Supports Lattice 3.04 small code and small data hunks - 
   removes Manx's size advantage over Lattice

o  Executable approximately 31k (ALink is 29k)

o  BLinked files are up to 10% smaller than ALinked files for identical 
   object modules due to compression of relocation information

o  Great MAP facility - much more readable than ALink - includes
   support for printer formatting

o  Not as memory-intensive as ALink

o  FREE!



The Software Distillery is a group of Amiga developers working on
high-quality public domain software for the Amiga.  Contributions

Yes, but *where* is it on the BBS.  I logged in and spent all my initial
time limit (30 minutes) just looking for it...

    "jump" to the native OS, change working directory ("current place"?)
to "c00:", then use "send".
    if you're always getting busy signals at software distillery, try
Hackers Anonymous FIDO at (217)333-8301.  the amiga section is #9, i
think (they keep reorganizing).  help yourself to the other PD goodies.

jriley of Lattice has uploaded the latest BLink to BIX.  I'll work on
getting it on the net - how does one do that, anyhow?
