The following error is from "Linker Error Messages" in the manual
"CodeView and Utilities," Section C.2, Page 365, and in the "Microsoft
QuickC Compiler Programmer's Guide," Section D.4, Page 370:

L1089       filename : cannot open response file

            LINK could not find the specified response file.

            This usually indicates a typing error.

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.

Also, check the TMP environment variable setting and/or TSR's.
