What we *can* do with Optlink is fix the occasional bug that crops up

I hope so. :)

I also believe that even if Optlink were completely converted to C, it

support other object file formats.
I really wish Unilink[1] was open-source.
Same here. Maybe we should try and convince him to share it with some
OpenSource license?
It's apparently a student
project, and it's closed source but freeware. It works with OMF but can
also link OMF and COFF objects together, which is a boon for win32
programmers who don't want to go through OBJCONV (object file
conversion, doesn't always work) or COFF2OMF (import libs). It also has
pretty good error messages.
Of course there's no telling how big its test-suite is. It's fairly easy
to set up though[2].

This is why I had started a new linker project.
Interesting. But if it's made behind-the-scenes with no input or work
from the community I won't be holding my hopes up too much, I know you
have very limited time for side-projects like that.
