Under dosbox, the line with the tlink command rejected and saying the command line is too long.
How can I compile my little demo?
Thanks
Jack

Just want to write games in dosbox, is it not wise to do so?
Thanks

no, it's not wise.
First of all, why DOS games? Second, find a way to do it in your operating system and then test the games in DOSBox. As DOSBox is intended for games and not applications your compiler may run into problems it never had in real DOS.
DOSBox IS NOT SUITED TO RUN YOUR NON-GAMING DOS APPLICATION applies

more advanced linker usually support a file-list,
a simple text file that contain .obj filenames that need to be linked

dos it self, can only have up to 127 characters (including the CR character at end) in command line.

Yeh openwatcom seems to do the trick here, can easily build 16/32 bit versions as well if you so wanted

Hi,
I am able to shorten the string of linking, but
I can't have a full symbolic information even specfying tlink -v
Sorry a bit off-topic here
I get
mov [@DGROUP], ax
but not
call helloworld
but
call 0000:0000
Thanks
