A link script is a text file that contains a list of all commands you
want sent to the linker. Instead of typing this:
BLINKER bli ext exe nobell FI mod1,mod2,mod3,mod4 sea blxclp52 lib
ctp,nanfor,cpmi
you'd create a text file like so:
BLINKER EXECUTABLE EXTENDED
NOBELL
FI mod1
FI mod2
FI mod3
FI mod4
SEARCH BLXCLP52
LIB ctp
LIB NANFOR
LIB cpmi
If the link script was named PROGRAM.LNK, you'd relink by typing
Blinker @program
Much easier on the fingers and memory. 
For extended mode you need two things: a BLINKER EXECUTABLE EXTENDED
statement and the statement SEARCH BLXCLP52 _before_ any other
libraries. This example assumes Clipper 5.2
