I got a :
386sx, running on MS-DOS 5.0 and 4dos 5.0, 5 Megs of RAM and 40 Megs of HD

I want to :

	Link CODEBASE 5.0 libraries with my GNU C programs

I know that :

	the gnu linker expects libXXX.a files, so I renamed the commercial
(not pirate !, was bought)  codebase .libs such like :

	c4def.lib   --->  libc4def.a

so the gnu linker gets to the file but it doesn't like the format and tells me
not a rel format library !. I guess that the rename i did was almost like
rename COFFs to EXEs. I've been looking at the info if there is some kind of
way to translate (not just rename LIBs) but i didnt find it.

	Please, if there is someone who knows how to do it or where in the
info can i find how, or what book should I buy, or wanna cheer me up I will
appreciate your help.


	Thank you
