- If you have access to the MSDN CD ROM, or to the Microsoft page on the web,
- read article Q102920. Among other things, it says some of the causes of
- this problem were fixed in version 5.60.339 of the 16 bit linker, shipped
- with versions 1.52 and later (1.52b and 1.52c). It also suggests some work-
- arounds which may work with previous version:
- - Link without the /CO option if the application doesn't need to be debugged.
- - Link with the /CO:NOCVPACK option and then run CVPACK separately.
- - Reduce the amount of CodeView information by compiling only essential
- modules with the /Zi option, and the rest with the /Zd option.
- - Avoid linking OLDNAMES.LIB last.
- - If using the /LI linker option, remove it.
- - Assign the TMP environment variable a valid hard drive and directory with
- a large amount of disk space (preferably not a RAM drive).
-
- Good luck!
