This is a fix for a specific problem discovered with the ilink.exe shipped as
part of the VisualAge for C++ 3.5.9 fixpak.  Do not apply this fix unless
instructed to do so by an IBM VisualAge for C++ Service Representative.

PROBLEM:

When executables using the functions _lclose, _llseek, _lopen are linked using
the ilink provided with 3.5.9 are run they fail with the error message: "The
procedure entry point (lclose, llseek, lopen) could not be located in the dynamic
link library (Kernel32.dll)."

CAUSE:

The linker (ilink) drops the "_" from in front of the name of the functions
that were exported from the new Windows 2000 SDK. The problem arise when user
tried to call the "_lxxxx" functions defined in the SDK. According to Microsoft
these functions are only provided for compatibility with 16-bit versions of
Windows.


FIX:

Replace the ilink.exe file in the ibmcppw/bin directory with the provided
ilink.exe then copy "lnkwcr10.dll" under ibmcppw/bin to be "cpplcr36.dll".
If the last step is not done the linker will not be capable of generating
resource files.
