	I remember reading somewhere that you can avoid the
subdirectory problem in the DRI linker by placing the file names
to be linked in a command file.  This file can be taken by the linker
by saying 'LINK68 output-file-name = [COM[some-file-name]], other-files'.
The '[COM[some-file-name]]' takes more commands from the file inside
the inner brackets (commonly uses a .INP extension).

	The problem comes from the linker thinking backslashes as
comment characters when on the command line.  I actually haven't tried
the command file idea, so it may not work...let me know what happens.
In any case, the fix is probably reasonably trivial, and I am not
sure why it hasn't been fixed.  My guess would be that the ST is not
at the top of DRI's "list of importance projects" right now.
