Are there any good public domain, shareware or commercial replacement linkers? I am using Ryan McFarland fortran, together with a callms (call micro soft) kludge, to call some routines in an ms comaptible library. I use the linker PLINK86plus, the P standing for Pro, I think (as in profort). Anyway this works fine, except that the linker seems too slow. Are there good replacements out there? -- Chris Kushmerick kciremhsuK sirhC kushmer@bnlux0.bnl.gov <===Try this one first kushmerick@pofvax.sunysb.edu

It pooped out one of those messages that says: "A compiler error has occurred. This shouldn't happen. Please contact RM immediately." So I did. 18 months later, I got a polite form letter inviting me to BUY their next upgrade. By then, I'd been using Lahey's compiler for 15 months. Lahey's compiler is about 4 times faster than RM's. Lahey's debugger isn't code-view, but it's very useful nonetheless. I once had a bug in complex arithmetic, and called Lahey about it. In ONE HOUR they called back, and said "type this ... into your .FIX" file. I said "my WHAT file?" Turns out there's an ascii file the compiler reads and patches itself before it runs. How's that for service? I've only worked with two folks that have that quality service: Lahey and WordPerfect. End of commercial.

Is there anybody who knows how to get a Paintbrush-picture ( .PCX ) into a pascal-program (Turbo Pascal 5.5) ??? Please e-mail to d9ulft@dtek.chalmers.se (Deep shit...).
