The wlink32 is a 32 bit linker for Windows.
It is an effort of me, (Manos) and LADSoft (David Lindauer) to 
produce a modern linker.
It is based on the original ALINK of Anthony A.J. Williams.
But ALINK does not support MS-COFF import libraries and
its support for making DLLs was limited and had bugs.

Attributes of wlink32:

1). Supports OMF and MS-COFF object and library files.
2). Supports response files as input.
3). Supports MS-COFF import libraries.
4). Supports .res files.
5). Produce external and embed manifest files.
