RetroLinker
Linker for several 8-bit, 16-bit and 32-bit formats
|
This program grew out of a desire to be able to process and generate old object and executable file formats. The initial targets were 16-bit 8086 operating systems, in particular CP/M-86, MS-DOS, Windows and ELKS (16-bit port of Linux). It was also a goal to be able to parse Intel OMF object files as well as as86 object files, to provide a drop-in replacement for the WATCOM and dev86 compilers.
