You will be unable to link in the object files successfully into Turbo Pascal
unless a) you can change the segement name of the code to 'CODE' (I think--Its
in the manual) b) the object code does not use any of the MicroSoft C runtime
library - since as you dont have the source code for this you will not be
able to change any segment names. I have thought about this problem often--if
anyone can see a way around this (Particulalry for Turbo C++) I would be
interested. Perhaps a dissassembler for OBJ/LIB files would help?
