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:

            The disk or the root directory was full.

            Delete or move files to make space.

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 file handles. Resident
software (TSR) can use up some handles, or can cause other kinds of
interference that can cause this error.
