I didn't ask about the *startup* code. I asked why you're not linking to the *runtime* library. You are now showing this: >tlink /m /v /s startup.obj test.obj main.obj, main.exe, main.map In your old message you showed this: >C:\BC45\BIN>tlink /m/v/s/c c0l test main,my_main,,cl The c0l is the compiler's startup code module. The cl at the end is the runtime library. Using your own startup code doesn't eliminate the need for a runtime lib if you're going to use functions which only it provides (such as new, etc.) -- Wayne A.
