I used this package several months ago, so keep in mind that my
experiences are dated.

I was using DOS 4.01 with a 320MB hard disk, so I naturally had SHARE.EXE
loaded.  After finding that ld would not work properly, and after wading
through the source and re-compiling it under two different compilers, I
finally tracked it down to a section of code where a file that had already
been opened was being re-opened.  Unless you open the files with the proper
flags set, when you have SHARE loaded This Is Bad.  So I renamed SHARE and
rebooted the PC and it worked fine.

So the way to get ld to work is to make sure you *don't* have SHARE loaded.
