multilink was written way back in 1998/1999. it was written as a solution to providing multiple code segments with the old prc-tools 0.5.0 compiler set. prc-tools 2.0 introduced a mechanism that would allow developers to manually specify where code should go (which segment) david wrote multilink as he hit the 64k barrier - i believe the app he was working at the time was avantgo. its designed to be used for prc-tools, more specifically the gcc compiler tool chain ONLY for 68k code. you'll probably have a lot of difficulty getting it to work with codewarrior or other dev kits. i remember using multilink back in 1999 - great tool for its time. -- // Aaron Ardiri -- For information on using the PalmSource Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
