Q68689: Error L2029 with Unresolved Externals in CRTCOM.LIB

Article: Q68689

If you are attempting to build a .COM file from a .ASM file and you
get the following unresolved external references on the link step, you
may have included CRTCOM.LIB in error:

   _main            __NMSG_WRITE
   __FF_MSGBANNER   __nullcheck
   __setenvp        __fptrap
   __setargv        __acrtmsg

This file is automatically included on the link line if the link
options are set to generate a .COM file from a .C file. To change this,
choose Make from the Options menu, choose the Linker Flags menu, and
change "Generate .COM file" to ASM.
