- The c0wl.obj file is a Borland startup file that is the result of c0w.asm
- in the <bordir>\lib\startup directory. The 'w' stands for Windows, the 'l'
- is appended for large memory module and 'c0' probably is a cutesy way of
- saying 'c' startup.
-
- Normally the c0wl.obj file is located in the <bordir>\lib if it is not
- you will have to tell the IDE where it is.
-
- You can tell the ide where the file is by simply adding the file path using
- Options/Project and clicking on directories then modifying the Library editline.
-
- Normally the path is defaulted to <drive>:\<bordir>\bin. This edit line is
- similar to a path statement so you may add additional directories as long as they
- are separated by a semicolon.
-
- If the file is not in this directory or anywhere on your disk you will have to
- reload it by re-installing the large memory module.
