$ ! GLINK.COM by KUDUT@hamp.hampshire.edu (Kenneth Udut)
$ ! Date: 10-28-91
$ ! Purpose: When LINKing .OBJ files, the default is to take the whole VAX C
$ !          (and GNU C) library and place it in the .EXE, whether it gets
$ !          used or not.  This program, adapted from an example in the
$ !          HELP GCC Linking, uses only the necessary items from the Library
$ !          to make it functional.  It will Link GNU C .OBJ files and VAX C
$ !          .OBJ files.  However, the GNU C library must be in place at
$ !          logical GNU_CC:[000000]
$ !
$ ! Known Limitations: None as of yet.  If you find any bugs, contact me
$ !                    at KUDUT@hamp.hampshire.edu
