Description:

Drlink is a linker for AOF files. It is a near-full replacement
for the Acorn linker, link, capable of performing nearly all of
link's functions except for features such as creating partially-
linked AOF files or overlays.  It is thus suitable for use with
the DDE Pascal compiler (a/a122), and assemblers AS (a/a132) and
TLA (a/a119).  Drlink's main features are:

*  It can run much faster than link.
*  It can use less memory than link.
*  It can extend size of wimpslot if running under a task window
   or the F12 CLI if memory runs short.
*  It supports extended command lines.
*  It can remove unused functions from programs, if the right
   compiler options were used when compiling the program.
*  It can scan libraries more than once when resolving symbols
   references

Drlink now contains a DDE front-end.
