Does anyone out there (probably Mark Riley) know a way to
BLINK a binary file onto an object file?  What I am trying
to do is something like,
 
BLINK from myprog.o+IFFSOUNDFILE to myprog.exe
 
and then use a command such as 
 
   lea  IFFSOUNDFILE,a0
 
and then perform a function to play that data.  
 
BLINK wont let me do it because it wont allow me to link
data that is not an object module.  This problem is
relavent also if I wanted to have pictures or whatever 
and the program to show them all within one executable.
 
Am I going about this all wrong?  Im pretty sure there 
MUST be some way to do this, but I havnt been able to
find it.
 
Thanks,

 
p.s. Yes, I'm one of the few die-hard assembly programmers
left.. Seems as if we're becoming extinct.  :-(
