Dear DJGPP Gurus,

I am learning how to make assembly = program using=20 Jeff Duntemann's book. I have been having a happy time making .com = programs but=20 have struck a problem with linking .obj files to .exe format. I tried = the linker=20 with the CD but it doesn't seem to work.

I have been spending quite some time = reading the=20 FAQ and have come to the conclusion that I am completely out of my depth = as far=20 as writing windows applications is concerned - but this wasn't what I = set out to=20 do.

I have been doing my programming using = an elderly=20 486 (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=20 downloaded, but they are quite large and don't appear to be a good idea = to try=20 and transfer to the old machine, even if I knew which ones were = absolutely=20 necessary. I have got the gut feeling that I don't need all the files = that are=20 there, as I am only using NASM, but I could be completely of the track = there,=20 too.

Is there a simple solution to this = problem, or a=20 good source of information that I can look to?

I would like to make programs that will = run on old=20 machines, such as 386 - is that a problem in getting a = linker?

Any information would be greatfully=20 received.
