Chapter 11 / Linking Object Modules
The linker prompts for the names of the object, run, and list files
and for libraries. Use a standard MS-DOS pathname to reference
each file.
The prompts are discussed below in the order they appear.
Defaults are shown in square brackets ([]) following the prompt.
To

in response to a prompt. The

prompt is the only one that requires you to
type a pathname.
Object Modules [.OBJ]:

•
Enter a list (one or more) of the object modules to be
linked. If an object module has an extension other than
.obj, specify it. If you do not, the linker assumes it is .obj.
Separate module names from one another with a blank
space or a plus sign
(+).
Remember, the linker loads segments into classes in the
order encountered. You can use this information to set the
order in which the linker reads the object modules. Refer to
Chapter 12 for more information on this process.
Run File [first object pathname.EXE]:

Enter a pathname. The linker creates a file of that name to
store the run file that results from the link session. It
assigns the run file the extension
.exe,
even if you specify
an extension other than
.exe.
If you do not enter a pathname in response to this prompt,
the linker uses the first pathname typed in response to the
Object Modules: prompt. For example, if your first object
module to be linked is Progl.exe, the screen shows:
Run File [progl.exel:
To name the run file B:Payroll, type:
B:payroll/P
I
ENTER
I
This response directs the linker to create the run file
Payroll.exe on Drive B. Because the /P switch is included,
the linker pauses to let you insert a new disk to receive the
run file.
