We have an application that runs on a PC from ROM. Up until now, we have
been using Aztec C to create the romable code, but now we are thinking of
switching to Microsoft C for a number of reasons. Looking over the
documentation, there is nothing on creating romable code with MSC. Can it be
done?  Is it necessary to buy a separate linker or "locater", or can the MS
link program be used?

I am specifically looking for either some kind of instructions on creating
romable code using the standard MSC tools, or a pointer to some literature
on that topic. If a commercial linker/locater is the way to go, does anyone
have recommendations for particular products (good experiences, stuff to
avoid, etc).

Please send replies to me at one of the addresses below or post to
the net. Thanks very much for any help.
