In my previous post about MGL graphics library (I can't make it work with 
DJGPP 2.01) I didn't write that problem is in linking. Kendall Bennet 
(the author) told me that there is problem that in 2.01 linker. 
This is what he wrote:
	"The thing that is broken is the linker; tkey removed support for 
the object file formats that we use. I have been talking to the guy who 
ported the linker to DJGPP, and he has created a new object file 
converter for us but we just habe not gotten around to getting it 
tested."

I think he is talking about emx2aout.exe (which I downloaded from 
their ftp also with supplied linker for 2.01) but I don't know how to use 
the converter and their linker doesn't work either. I think there can be 
solution to extract the object files from library (libmgld.a) convert all 
 *.o files and to create the library again. But I don't know how to do 
it. Probably I can dig information how to do it from infos but to tell do 
truth I'm too lazy to do it. I just like progamming and don't like to 
learn so much new things which are in such a complex package which I 
think DJGPP is.

Thanks for any help

Michal
