The following error is from "Linker Error Messages" in the manual
"CodeView and Utilities," Section C.2, Page 364, and in the "Microsoft
QuickC Compiler Programmer's Guide," Section D.4, Page 370:

L1087       unexpected end-of-file on scratch file

            The disk with the temporary linker-output file was
            removed.

Fatal errors cause the linker to stop execution. Fatal error messages
have the following format:

   location : fatal error L1xxx: messagetext

In these messages, location is the input file associated with the
error, or LINK if there is no input file. If the input file is an OBJ
or LIB file and has a module name, the module name is enclosed in
parentheses.

This error can be caused by insufficient space on the disk (hard,
floppy, or RAM) where the temporary file is being written.
