Or proof the contrary >(which would be much better for Borland). Jeepers, they're not that dumb. Tlink does indeed report undefined symbols. It reports them to me every day. (I wish it would report fewer of them, but I guess I need bigger libraries.) Tlink does have problems running out of space at inconvenient times, which is when you need to use MS-link, but considering how fast tlink is, it's not that bad a tradeoff. -- John R.
