linking 16 bit com apps
hi
can anyone tell me what parameters i need to pass to compile a 16-bit dos app (using link16)
is it something like this ?

c:\masm32\bin\ml /AT /c /coff grr.asm
c:\masm32\bin\link16 grr.obj grr.com

i can't work out which parameters i need to pass to compile a basic small .com file

any help is greatly appreciated
thanks

Its been about 10 years since I ran a 16 bit link line but you don't have enough arguments. Run LINK /? for the syntax and try it again.

Re: linking 16 bit com apps
The first thing I would do is replace /coff with /omf because the COFF generated by MASM doesn't support 16-bit. Also, I don't believe the 16-bit linker supports COFF.
