The linker included in the MASM32 package is a 32-bit linker. To link a 16-bit DOS app you need a 16-bit linker, available in a self-extracting archive here:
http://spiff.tripnet.se/~iczelion/download.html
Both linkers are named LINK.EXE, so take care not to overwrite the 32-bit linker. Assuming you rename the 16-bit linker to LINK16.EXE, you could assemble and link with command lines similar to this:
ML /c filename.asm
LINK16 filename.obj;
Hey, that worked!!! :)
many thanks
Mike
