- While the SAS/C linker can take simple concatenations of object files
- and process them as if they were true object libraries, SAS/C does
- provide a method of getting a true indexed library which is every bit
- as good as the Aztec method. The provided OML utility calculates an
- index to all symbols in the library to speed linking. I therefore
- think that it is unfair to characterize the Aztec library structure
- as more "sophisticated". The SAS/C system is certainly implemented
- more robustly, since it can at least handle the concatenated form
- of the library correctly.
