        The Merlin linker links binary files without any problem.

        Some others referred to LinkMeister (perhaps?) that converts
file to Merlin link files...  you don't need it.  All you have to do
is change the file type from the 'D'isk commands, by typing "filetype
<file> BIN" make sure the filetype is in caps, because it has problems
with $c0 as opposed to $C0....  This is using Merlin 16+ (GS/OS)
version...

        And you can reference the info by a label... if you lnk
shrpage1, you could lda #shrpage or ldal shrpage,x etc....  make sure
it is declared as an ext shrpage at the top....
