I've started working on a project using Merlin Pro v2.45 on DOS 3.3 with a
platinum Apple IIe. I have already hit the 32KB source code limit on DOS
3.3, and I removed some comments and unused code but of course I'm going to
hit the limit again because my source is still growing. I could switch to
ProDOS, but that only gains me about an extra 10K and eventually I'll hit
that limit too.

So, flipping through the Merlin Pro manual, I've decided to try using the
REL features. I was able to make a little "hello world" demo.

I want to know if anyone out here in net land has experience using the
relocatable linker in Merlin Pro with medium to large size projects and can
offer any remarks or warnings or gotchas with the system.

Thanks.
