Seams that wlink is no jump in replacement.

It's not that I dislike link.exe from ms because of being non free. This notion would be a bit to fundamental also for me.

The thing is the dll hell, link.exe depends on several dll's and I seam to have currently the wrong versions. But I think with experimenting I will get link.exe to run under dos.

I was scared for the first time to use the beta so i use the old version. ;)

Thanks! :)

Basically two different things.
a) related to this thread - developing under dos and using hx as dos extender
b) not related to this thread - compiling my console applications under windows and statically linking hx so the exe will run under windows and dos at the same time out of the box
