- The link files will have a special header -- one that no other file
- would have, such as: @@@UVLINK FILE@@@
-
- My symlink will support EXEC and also directory linking. One question,
- though -- how do I allocate a 81 byte area in a .com assembly file
- (I'm new at it). Can I just do:
-
- DB ? ,81
-
- ? or something like that?
