Dear DJGPP Gurus,
I am learning how to make assembly program using Jeff Duntemann's book. =
I have been having a happy time making .com programs but have struck a =
problem with linking .obj files to .exe format. I tried the linker with =
the CD but it doesn't seem to work.

I have been spending quite some time reading the FAQ and have come to =
the conclusion that I am completely out of my depth as far as writing =
windows applications is concerned - but this wasn't what I set out to =
do.
I have been doing my programming using an elderly 486 (not the machine I =
an now communicating on) and have transferred the programs using 3.5" =
floppy discs.

I am contemplating the DJGPP files which I have downloaded, but they are =
quite large and don't appear to be a good idea to try and transfer to =
the old machine, even if I knew which ones were absolutely necessary. I =
have got the gut feeling that I don't need all the files that are there, =
as I am only using NASM, but I could be completely of the track there, =
too.

Is there a simple solution to this problem, or a good source of =
information that I can look to?
I would like to make programs that will run on old machines, such as 386 =
- is that a problem in getting a linker?
Any information would be greatfully received.
Regards, Mike Reeves
Central Victoria
