The new SDK doesn't come with a linker (SDK 2.x has link4.exe). What you need is a segment relocatable linker which is link.exe in one of Microsoft C 6.0, Fortran ?.?, OS/2 development kit. I suspect the link.exe that comes with MASM will not do the job. link4.exe will work okay. What this boils down to is that you must get MSC 6.0 (may be 5.1 will work as well) to do Windows development. Even if you want to use Zortech C++ and don't want to use MSC, you still need to buy MSC just for the bloody linker. RATS ! Regards, ## Life is fast enough as it is ........ Peter Lim. ## ....
