No, my point is that I have iff.lib, but don't know how to make libiff.a,
as it's not included in the iff.library archive. I was told that if my
version of ld was up to scratch, then it can be passed iff.lib, as it
deals with these also.

Nope - I already HAVE and ADE: assignment, and I've never had a /gg/
directory. Should I have to add a GG assign for this to work?
Everything was fine when I was compiling using gcc, but now...

How do I do this? When I typed beginner I meant BEGINNER! ;o(

Again, my installation is ADE:, not GG:. I've even tried putting ld into
the directory that cc1 and collect2 are in, but that doesn't solve a
thing - what exactly does collect2 DO, anyway?
