I have recently adopted OS/2 2.x as my development platform.
I need to use Microsoft's Version 7.0 C/C++ compiler. The 
compiler compiles, but the linker will not link.  If I simply
execute the linker from the DOS command line, to wit:

    c> link

OS/2 reports that an access violation occurred at 00010224.
I have applied all known patches (thru version 5.31.009) from
the Microsoft Developer's CD.  At this point I don't know
whether link does this under native DOS 5.0 and because of 
the lack of protection it is overlooked, or whether it is
just another buggy software release.  

This seems like I may have overlooked something, perhaps.
It just doesn't seem like invoking link without command
line parameters should do this.

So, I put to you, anyone ... any ideas ?

puzzled,

Michael
