Good free linker

[Gunther]

Does anyone know, if there is a good, free linker available, which works under plain DOS and can link 16 bit, 32 bit, and 64 bit segments together?

Such a thing probably does not exist because there is no output format which supports all three offset sizes.

There's also no object format which supports 16-, 32- and 64-bit.

OW Wlink is the most flexible free linker, it can read both OMF and 32-bit COFF, but it won't accept 64-bit COFF.

This means that you need advanced skills to solve this problem. There is no tool ready-to-use to merge all what you want.

Thank you for the information. Fortunately, MZ exe is very easy and the header can be produced with DB, DW, by using binary output from the assembler.
