I have to mimic a project produced by a consultant no longer in favor, and in order to match the product as it is (comparing .hex files) I must do things the following way: .. in a DOS batchfile .. with the same modules linked in the same sequence .. with the modules currently in libraries in libraries. I have all source, just no makefiles. My problem is that when I put the '&' at the end of the first part of my BL51 line the linker stops using the .bat file and display >> on the console. Any advice as to how to handle this using the given criteria will be greatly appreciated. thanx in advance Erik
