Hi,

I've got Turbo C 2.0 and I program extensively in Clipper.  I built a simple graphics program in Turbo C and then assumed (what a mistake) that I could link it's OBJ file in with the rest of my compiled Clipper Code and link it with PLink86.  I also tried the MS-DOS linker as well.  No luck - There were library problems and routines being called that didn't exist (so said PLink86 in Verbose mode).

Is this because Clipper is written in MS C and thus OBJ files with it and TC just do not go together?  I ended up Kludging it with a shell call in the .EXE file that my clipper code created to a .EXE version of the graphics to make it work within my deadline but I don't like it that way.  Is there anyway to link them into one .EXE file?  Any takers?

Clark
