 * Microsoft FORTRAN Compiler for MS-DOS 5.1

This article was previously published under Q79287





SYMPTOMS
When using Microsoft FORTRAN 5.1 to compile and link QuickWin applications, if a version of LINK.EXE earlier than 5.15 is used to link the program, the following error may be generated:

FL.DEF(15) : syntax error



CAUSE
Line 15 of the definition file FL.DEF contains the following statement: APPLOADER     '__MSLANGLOAD' This statement enables the custom loader shipped with Microsoft FORTRAN version 5.1. Versions of the linker other thatn 5.15 may not recognize this statement.



RESOLUTION
LINK.EXE version 5.15 should be the first version of LINK.EXE in the PATH. Other versions of the linker were not intended to link FORTRAN QuickWin applications. LINK version 5.15 should be used.
