Hi Netlanders!! I would like to know if anybody out there has managed to create a .FON file that works with Windows 3.0. I have extensively followed the instructions in Chapter 18 of the Reference Guide included with the SDK , but unfortunately I had no success. It appears that the .FON file has a header that is larger by 3072 bytes when compared to the standard .FON files supplied with Windows 3.0. To create the .FON file, I am using MASM 5.1 and the segmented executable linker supplied with this package (link4). I have also heard that other people using the linker that comes with MSC 6.0 have also encountered problems. During linking, the linker aborts with a "no segments defined" error. Could somebody out there be kind enough to tell what am I doing wrong? Please note that both MASM and the linker are run in their default modes (i.e. no LINK and MASM environment variables are defined). I could force MASM to generate a file with a smaller header, by using the /n command line switch, but this has not proved to provide a full remedy to my problem. Please email me if you have any suggestions. Thank you very much in advance.
