Trying to overcome the problem with LINK68 not accepting pathnames I found a scanner control table starting at file-offset 0x8144. The command scanner of LINK68 uses a byte entry of this table indexed by an input character as a control pattern specifying the character class. The backslash entry at file-offset 0x81A0 has the value 0x02 which is a separator pattern. Patching it to value 0x04 puts the backslash into the number class. After this fix LINK68 treats the backslash as a normal identifier character but GEMDOS still sees a pathname. Konrad Hahn Techn.
