        Q:      I keep getting a fixup error at Q_MEMORY.ASM when I link
        my FORCE code with Borland's Turbo Link.  Why?

        A:      FORCE code suddenly became imcompatible with Borland
        products when Borland came out with TURBO C++.  At that time,
        they introduced TURBO LINK 3.0 (TLINK).  TLINK versions 3.0 and
        up do not work with FORCE at all, nor do the Borland C++ compilers
        work (at least, I haven't been able to get them to work, and as
        I understand it, the entire compiler and its library will have to
        be rewritten if we want to stay compatible with Borland).  The
        incompatibility was caused when Borland decided to change the
        structure of its OBJ files.  Either we have to meet their
        structure requirements, or hope that they create a compiler
        switch which supports true Intel/Microsoft OBJ structure.
        However, considering Borland's competitive stance with regards
        to Microsoft....

        So, TLINK version 2.0, and probably all versions of MicroSoft's
        LINK will work okay.  We suggest that you use the MS link if you
        have it.  It may be a little slower than TLINK, but we know it
        works.

        See the file INTER_C for further discussion on C and FORCE here in
        Area 12.
