I have been working on compiling Minix sources under DOS with a
combination of the new Turbo C compiler and Microsoft Macro Assembler
V3.0.

I get to the point where I can link with a library of routines for
Minix but when I run dos2out, it tells me the number of relocation
items in the table is greater than one. Inspection with Norton Utils
at the magic locations tells me that there are two items for relocation.
So that is the problem, but what does one tell MASM in order to decrease
this count by one?

The library I have created is based on the small memory model which
conforms to the separate I&D space model supported by Minix. I do not
have any problems through the linking stage. But, I kind of have a gut
level feeling that the two items for relocation are the code segment
and the data segment. Is there any way to fake out the linker or a nifty
trick that can be done in crtso.asm in order to get around this problem?

Any insight into this problem would greatly be appreciated.

Thank you
