ID Number: Q65817

1.20 1.21 | 1.20 1.21

MS-DOS | OS/2

Summary:

SYMPTOMS

Using ILINK version 1.2 or 1.21, after doing a full link using a

bound linker earlier than version 5.1 or a DOS linker earlier than

version 4.1, causes the following message:

ILINK : warning L4267: invalid .ILK file

ILINK : performing full link

CAUSE

ILINK versions 1.2 and 1.21 are not "backwards compatible" and do

not work correctly with earlier .ILK files.

RESOLUTION

Use an updated version of LINK. If the ILINK version that came with

the linker is used, the .ILK file will be recognized correctly.
