slink problem

the slink command using an object listing file does not work in the latest edition. as an example if the file objfile.txt has the names of the object files pertaining to main.obj and the first obj file in objfile.txt is sub1.obj, the command

slink main.obj -addobj:@objfile.txt

will result in the linkage to sub1 not recognized

slink in the interactive mode slink lo main.obj addobj sub1.obj addobj sub2.obj .....etc.... file

will work

replace all 'addobj' with 'lo' addobj is used to create a .lib library, which is started with 'archive file.lib'

I find .lib files very useful, although they are the old style of program development.
