link386 will take all its arguments on the command line.  What you have
to do is put them on the command line just as you would type them when
its running in interactive mode, and seperate lines by a comma.  Here's
what I've done:

link386 /nologo interp animate client matrix,animate,,,animate

Which takes the object files: interp.obj, client.obj, animate.obj  &
matrix.obj and links them into the executable called "animate.exe" using
the default libraries and the default name for the output .map file, and
uses the file "animate.def"   The /nologo part just cancels the whole
logo.  If you type "link386 /?" you get a list of possible options,
they're mostly self-explanatory.  No, I don't have any documentation,
I've just figured this all out by myself (any by the workinks of other
IBM linkers...)
