I'm using the linker that came with C6.0, but not the compiler
(I still can't get C6.0 object modules to link correctly), and I'm
not getting this response file prompt, using a 5.1 linker response
file.  Are you failing to put a semicolon at the end of your inputs?

Also, as nice as it is that the new Codeview allows you to debug
really big applications with big symbol tables, as soon as I put
together an application of any real size, with symbols on, I get
L1063: out of memory for CodeView information from the linker.

Oh well.
