Does any body know about Virtual Memory Linker on DOS ? It is
offered by a company called Pocket Soft Inc. It has released
Virtual Memory Linker called .RTLink+ 4.0. I want to know whether
any body is using. 

According to it's specifications, you don't have to change your
source code to achieve the Virtual capability. All you have to do
is just a response file for linker specifying the object modules to
be overlayed. The linker creates pages and these pages are swapped
on to Expansion memory or Extended memory or Hard disk and brought
back as needed during run time. You can run a program of 3 to 4
megabytes in 300K of conventional (DOS) memory. The performance may
not affect in most of the cases. It can support Microsoft's Code View
to debug. Also, it can support many languages like Microsoft's C,
Quick C, MASM, Fortran etc.


I would like to know more about this linker. Please send e-mail to
me at 
               shivap@agora.hf.intel.com

Thanks in advance.
