I have recently been working on a C program to get the directory on any disk
drive.  Well, I used an example which was originally compiled with Manx 3.2a. 
When I try to compile this program after making some minor changes I got a
strange linking error which I do not understand.  The program compiled without
and warnings or errors.  During the 2ND pass of the linker(BLINK 7.2) I got
this error:
 
Error 504: UNKNOWN symbol - Distance for Data Reloc16 > 32768
  First Reference in unit mydir.o at offset 00000010 in file 'ram:mydir.o'
  To Unit mydir.o at offset 00000010 in file 'ram:mydir.o'

This occured if I used my own WITH file during the linking process or I let
the lc program link for me using the -L option.  If anyone could give me a
clue to how I can figure out what the error is (and what it means) or just
tell me how to solve my problem.  Any help would be great.
 
                                           Thanks in advance,
                                                    Tom
