Our software has to run under both DOS and Xenix.  I would love to
cross-compile and link from Xenix to DOS, but I have two problems:

(1) The 'dosld' supplied with the 2.2 development system apparently does
not recognize some of the record types generated by the MSC 4 compiler.
Since I sometimes use third-party libraries compiled with MSC 4, I can't
link them under Xenix.

(2) I need to create a .LIB file to be exported for the use of others in
our organization who are developing under DOS.  The standard set of
Xenix cross-development tools do not include a way to do this.

Have you addressed either of these problems?  If so, any pointers to
possible solutions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
