1. Special Instructions for Linking

   If you own the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) and want to
   use QuickC 2.00 to write Windows programs, you cannot use either
   the standard QuickC linker or the SDK linker. Instead, replace the
   QuickC linker LINK.EXE (version 4.06, which is installed by the
   SETUP program), with the 120K LINK.EXE file (version 5.02 of the
   Microsoft Segmented-Executable Linker for MS-DOS, Windows, and
   OS/2). You can find it on the distribution disk labeled "Learning
   the Microsoft QuickC Environment". This linker works with QuickC,
   C 5.10, and the Software Development Kit. It replaces all earlier
   versions of the linker.

2. Linker Warning Message L4042

   L4024  name : multiple definitions for export name

   This warning occurs if you declare a name exported in both the
   .DEF file and with the _export keyword in a .C file. It can be
   safely ignored. You can eliminate it by removing one or the other
   of the export declarations for the name.
