          Plink-II:  PSA Object Module Linkage Editor II
          Update for Version 1.08 - (5/30/81)

                              Update for Version 1.08 
          
              This note lists Plink-II bug fixes and enhancements effective
          with version 1.08.  
          
          Bug Fixes: 
          
            - If more than  35 overlays  were used  in a  program a message
              "OVERLAY  LOAD  DISK  ERROR"  would  appear  when  the  extra
              overlays were loaded.  Now up to 255  overlays may be used as
              stated in the user manual.  
          
            - In previous versions of  Plink-II, files of  the same name on
              different disks (e.g.  A:FOO.REL, B:FOO.REL)  were treated as
              different files.  This caused  problems  for  some  users, so
              version 1.08 now treats these as the same file name and gives
              an error message.  
          
            - The FILE, SEGMENT,  and MODULE  statements would  not put the
              segments of the program into sections in the specified order.
              This has  been  fixed.  Also,  segments  put  into  a  .DATA.
              section are now always in input order.  
          
            - CONCATENATED segments are no longer  placed by default into a
              .DATA. section.  
          
          New Features: 
          
            - Plink-II now uses  random disk  I/O calls  when running under
              operating systems that  support  them.  A  large  increase in
              speed usually results.  
          
            - Whitesmiths C  compiler  rel  files  may  now  be  linked and
              overlaid along  with  any  other  supported  file types.  The
              run-time-support librarys CLIB.A  and MLIB.A  must be present
              on disk and are searched automatically.  The C program header
              file CHDR.R is  also automatically  included in  the program.
              The free memory symbol  _MEMORY is  set to  the .END. address
              (see  the  FREEMEMORY   statement).  Remember  that  Plink-II
              assumes a default file type of  ".REL" for input files, so it
              is convenient to  specify that  type when  using the compiler
              rather than  ".R".  Local symbols  put into  the .R  file for
              debugging purposes are not supported.
