Linking the object file(s) into an executable

The program which links object files and libraries into an executable is called tlink. Again, if you don't give it the arguments it wants, it will prompt you.

There are two flavors of executable programs under DOS. The ones we will be dealing with most are .exe programs, which are larger and more versatile than the alternative, .com. .com files are very small and are usually used for things like TSRs. They are limited to a single segment containing code, data, and stack. You have to write the assembly source code a little bit differently for producing a .com file than for producing an .exe file.
