Could someone offer a plausible explaination as to why the linker is so much bigger than MASM.EXE? My guess is that the linker needs more workspace than the assembler (but for what?). Another guess is that it must somehow link object code with routines in DOS when programming with interrupts, therefore there might be "libraries" built in to the linker making it larger? Am I totally off base here? Does anybody know? - gb -- Gary M.
