There is *no* loss of the external statement in Turbo 4.0. The difference
is in the type of external *file* that you are linking in.
Turbo 4.0 will link only .OBJ files <--- from MASM or A86.
turbo 3.0 could only use binary files.

So you would probably have to ask your sources if they could upgrade their
externals to .OBJ files.
