Certainly one would use the same system linker with object files produced by the C compiler as with files produced by any other compiler; however the properties of this linker which you describe, not allowing underscore "_" in symbol names and a severe limitation on symbol length, are not apparent when used with other languages such as FORTRAN and BLISS, so it would be extremely suprising to find such limitation introduced in relationship to dealing with an object file produced by a C compiler. Truthfully yours, GJC
