There is an error: MS-C uses LLIBCEr.LIB or LLIBCEp.LIB for real (DOS) or
protected (OS/2) mode. During install you get the option to rename one of
them to LLIBCE.LIB (called 'default target system').
It is important to link the correct library as it contains startup code.

This command should compile & link (however on my system I get 'cannot
open response file' from the linker). 
/Lx means "use linker option /NOD:LLIBCE LLIBCEx" where x is r, p or w.

 VD> " LINK test; " command. 

Do a "LINK test,/PM:VIO,,/NOD:LLIBCE LLIBCEp;" by hand if your
LIB directory contains LLIBCEp.LIB.

Check your LIB directory. There should be a large mode library for every
target system you installed for. Check for differences in size (LLIBCEp is
248395, LLIBCEr is 259949 bytes on my system, GRAPHICS.LIB not included).

Tip: run SETUP /LIB and install new libraries remembering your choices.

 VD> Thanks for your help.
You're welcome.
