The link files will have a special header -- one that no other file
would have, such as: @@@UVLINK FILE@@@

My symlink will support EXEC and also directory linking. One question,
though -- how do I allocate a 81 byte area in a .com assembly file
(I'm new at it). Can I just do:

DB	?	,81 

? or something like that?
