I am unable to get Version 5.10 of the MS Segmented-Executable Linker
to accept the following "SEGMENTS" statement in a .def file:

SEGMENTS
        DSS_TEXT    CLASS 'CODE' 4096 PRELOAD MOVEABLE

If I remove the "4096" then everything works fine.  Is there a known
problem with LINK 5.10 not accepting minimum allocation values?  Has
anyone been able to get this feature to work?                   Marc
