cs>Is anyone using the Turbo linker (tlink) with Clipper?

        You CANNOT use TLINK from Turbo C 2

        You CAN use TLINK from Turbo C 1.0 & 1.5

        The version I use says it is TLINK version 1.1,
        which came with Turbo C 1.5

If you are using overlays you must use PLINK86 which came with Clipper.

The command line can be seen from entering TLINK <enter>

Tlink object_list, exe_result, mapfile, library_list

EG:

Tlink mod1+mod2+mod3,myprog,nul,clipper+extend+mylib
      -------------  ------ --- ------- ------ -----
          |             |   |      |     |       |
          |             |   |      |     |       - mylib.lib
          |             |   |      |     |-- Nantucket's Extend.lib
          |             |   |      |-- Nantucket's Clipper.lib
          |             |   |-- skip the map file this time
          |             |-- create myprog.exe if successful link
          |-- object list

Note:   List elements can be seperated with a space or a plus "+"
        Lists end with a comma ","

If you have a large list of object and/or libraries the response file
format is:

Tlink @responsefilename

responsefile consists of:

object list
resulting exe
mapfile
library list


To continue a list on the next line use "+"
To end a list use "," or nothing


You may specify a response file for each list

EG:

Tlink @objlist, myprog, mymap,  @liblist
        |       |       |       |
        |       |       |       --- library response file
        |       |       |---------- mapfile resulting in mymap.map
        |       |------------------ exe name resulting in myprog.exe
        |-------------------------- object response file


I hope this helps & good luck.
