I don't think this is true.  My version of Lattice 3.0 came with a program
called OML that, among other things, will convert a DOS 3.x library file
to a DOS 2.x library file  (oml -v2 file).  If you munch at your libraries
that way, you should then be able to link just fine with the 2.0 linker.

Alternatively, you can buy a recent version of the Microsoft assembler
(either under Microsoft's name or IBM's), which comes with an appropriate linker.
