I know, that the MASM32 Project is including a linker, but only for Win Applications and code is able to run on this stupid architecture, named Windows, soon I will change to Linux, hehe!!!

You need a different linker. Do a google search for Link version 5.63

Hi JayAre,

Welcome to the board

To get the 16-bit linker:

http://spiff.tripnet.se/~iczelion/files/Lnk563.exe

It's a self-extracting archive, so dont' run it in c:\masm32\bin. If you want to put the linker to that folder, you should rename it like lin16.exe after the extraction process.
