Binder for Beginners: Things You Ought to Know About Link Editing, Whether You Knew It or Not

This introductory session will explore the most important classical and traditional uses of the binder, as invoked via batch and by SMP/E, as well as the more often elusive invocations such as buried deep within UNIX makefile scripts.

After a brief high-level overview of binder processing, we will focus on the most frequently used options and control statements, and on helpful ways to use the outputs when diagnosing link-edit problems or debugging run-time problems.

Come with your puzzling problems, questions, and suggestions, and we'll open it up to some Q & A to discuss what you and others find most helpful and interesting.
