Subj : Linking a Hello Program

I am new to BC++5.5.1.  I can create, compile and run a hello program using 
bcc32.  I am now trying to use a makefile to first compile (-c option) and 
then, as a separate operation, link (using ilink32).  The compilation works, 
and a hello.exe file is created by ilink32.  But the hello.exe when executed 
produces a window that says hello.exe is not a valid win32 application.  I 
tried -ap and -Tpe with ilink32 with no success.  The hello.exe are always 
about 2K in size while the bcc32 created version that runs is about 130K.

What am I doing wrong?  Are there other .obj or .lib files that need to be 
included in the link?

I cannot understand why ilink32 would not default to the same behavior as 
when it is invoked automatically by bcc32.

Thanks for any help.

Randy
