I always use the dos linker as it is faster. I use the following batch file
that gives me several link options..

rem clip.bat
echo off
clipper %1
if not errorlevel 0 goto crash
if "%2" == "+" goto exten
if "%2" == "d" goto debug
if "%2" == "d+" goto exdebug
if "%2" == "+d" goto exdebug
if "%2" == "" goto plain
:exten
 echo Linking %1 with Extended Library
 link %1,,,clipper.lib extend.lib
 goto end
:debug
  echo Linking %1 with Debugger
  link %1 debug.obj,,,clipper.lib
  goto end
:exdebug
  echo Linking %1 with Extended Library and Debugger
  link %1 debug.obj,,,clipper.lib extend.lib
  goto end
:plain
  echo Linking %1 with Standard Library
  link %1,,,clipper.lib
  goto end
:crash
  echo a compiler error has occured......please correct and try again....
  goto end
:end



This gives me several options... compile and link with standard Library 
  (clip program ) , debugger (clip program d) extended library (clip program +)
  or extended and debugger (clip program d+ or +d) 

  Have Fun...
