Hello All,
I read lot about history of programming.
Lastly I was searching for "when the concept of linker was brought into
the programming" .
As in earlier days(unstructured programming days)the compilation unit
was a monolithik file but the modulariazation (structured
programming)brought the concept of the separate compilation units.

But nowhere I found when was the concept of linker introduced.
Will someone please give me insight into the history of linkers?


Thanks and Regards,
Yogesh Joshi
