Hi,

we have a large project on DOS entirely written in C with the 
GNU C Compiler. But we now find that we can't link
the gcc object files with a library written in Borland C. 
Unfortunately we don't have the sources for that specific 
library.

The library has the extension .obj, while the GNU object files 
have the extension .o. Even if we rename the Borland library from
.obj to .o, we get the link message "File not recognized: File
format not recognized".

What object file format is used on DOS, what is the 
name of the object file format that gcc creates, and
how can the two be linked?

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanx
Michael
