Zortech states this quite clearly in their (gasp) documentation. The pre-Windows3 SDK's all included a special liker called link4. With the new SDK you must have the linker supplied with Microsoft C 5.1 or later. This linker is the one supplied for OS/2 support, and many people have goofed by installing the DOS only linker. To my knowledge, Microsoft doesn't sell this linker separately, which makes Zortech's position somewhat tenuous. You can create Windows apps with Zortech C++, but only if you've bought Microsoft C, or possibly MASM. Has anyone got a list of linkers which will work, or of the cheapest way to use the SDK with a non-Microsoft language? How about Bourland's linker? John Reynolds juan@mcc.com
