1. General Notes
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Blinker now fully supports the creation of 16 bit OS/2 .EXE and .DLL files.
To create OS/2 .EXEs and .DLLs simply create a link file as documented in
the manual and use the module definition file(s) from your current OS/2
linker.
Programs linked with the Blinker 4.x DOS extender require a minimum of
HIMEM.SYS to be installed on the destination machine in order to run in
protected mode. If there is no memory manager at all present then dual mode
programs will revert to running in real mode and extended mode programs will
terminate with the following message :
This is a DOS extended program which requires a minimum of a 286
processor and at least nnnn KB of available DPMI, VCPI or XMS memory to
run. Please ensure that your system is configured with a memory manager
which provides these resources.
All other memory managers such as QEMM, 386MAX , NetRoom etc are fully
supported and are used to their full potential.
Blinker searches for FILEs in the OBJ path AND THEN the LIB path before
failing with a file not found error.
