The problem with the Microsoft linker is that it links a program in memory. Since the linker itself takes at least 10k of memory, you can not link a program that takes all of memory. There is only one way around this; write a new linker which links the code in a disk file, instead of memory. This is a major task, I know, because I have done it. The result is slow, because of all the disk I/O required to satisfy external references, but you can link a program which runs in 64k. Actually my own linker will do overlays, so I can run programs which runs in more than 64k. I do not know if anyone is selling such a linker. Anyone on the net know of such a product? Let us know if you do, because it could be very useful. Richard Piner Physics Dept. Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907
