- Drlink version 0.28 - An AOF linker, by Dave Daniels
-
- Drlink is a linker for AOF files. It is a near-full replacement
- for the Acorn linker, link, capable of performing nearly all of
- link's functions except for features such as creating overlays. It
- is based very closely on the version of link that comes with
- release 3 of the Acorn C compiler.
-
- Drlink's main features are:
-
- * It links AOF version 2 and 3 files and ALF libraries to create
- AIF image files, reloctable AIF image files, plain binary
- image files, partially-linked AOF files and relocatable
- modules in RMF format.
- * It has the same command syntax as link and so can be used as
- a direct replacement for link.
- * It can run much faster than link.
- * It can use less memory than link.
- * It works with amu.
- * It can extend size of wimpslot if running under a task window
- or the F12 CLI if memory runs short.
- * It supports extended command lines.
- * It can remove unused functions from programs, if the right
- compiler options were used when compiling the program.
- * It can scan libraries more than once when resolving symbols
- references.
- * Symbolic debugging tables can be selectively included in the
- image file.
- * It has *documented* link edit commands.
- * It supports 'throwback' to display error messages in a window.
-
- Drlink has been tested with releases 3, 4 and 5 of the Acorn C
- compiler as well as the DDE Pascal compiler, !As and TLA.
