I looked at the old version of Glockenspiel and decided to
wait for an upgrade to the current version. 
At home I try to use Zortech (2.06) , with mixed results.
The C compiler is fine, it does all I want. 
So far I could not get real C++ work with Windows; in order to
make virtual member functions work I have to make 
my code segment FIXED (which isn't very nice). In the
UK BBS of Zortech I found the tip (in WINTIPS.DOC) that
in order to have moveable code segments one has to use
LINK4 version 5.02 (with my latest SDK 2.11 came a version
5.01.something). I haven't called Microsoft, yet.

Does anybody know which version of link4 is current?
What about the LINK.EXE which come with OS/2 1.1 and 1.2?
What about thhe LINK.EXE from the IBM Version of the MSC
compiler (version 1.1)? Are these possible replacements
of the toolkit (SDK) LINK4s? Are they newer, older or what?
What is contained in the (beta?) SDK of windows 3?
