hello LINKM users,
	I jut came across a truly nasty bug/feature in LINKM.
(make that just). In my .LNK file I have several lines of files
with /C (for continuation) at the end.  The last line of course
doesn't have one.  That is until you hurriedly delete that line
without thinking, which is what I did.  That makes the previous
line the last line, and that of course HAD a /C at the end.

	Now for the bug.  LINKM doesn't complain about the
superfluous /C on the last line, it just doesn't make a .LDA
file.  It took me two days before I realized that I was down-
loading my old .LDA file, rather than my new one.  Now that
you know, maybe this will decrease the chances of this
happening to you.
