I looked through this linker - very nice. I like such features as
specifying where to place and what :-). http://www.erols.com/johnfine/
Here is page. I started to try it, and for me it's very convenient!

Nevertheless I strongly recommend PE/COFF for your OS as M$ uses. You
will get compatibility automatically!!! And you won't be
compiler-dependent - compile with Watcom, Borland or... M$ VC++ :-)
You won't be OS-dependent either. If you are not sure - research
PE-format, I have small pdf on this topic...

Best regards,
