Usage:
val <obj-files>,<exe-file>,<map-file>,<lib-files>

where:
  <obj-files> = <ambiguous filespec> [{'+' | ' '} <ambiguous filespec>]...
  <exe-file>  = <unique filespec>
  <map-file>  = <unique filespec>
  <lib-files> = <ambiguous filespec> [{'+'|' '} <ambiguous filespec>]...

If any of the above operands are missing, you will be prompted.  A ';' may 
appear in place of a comma to take defaults for the balance of the operands.

A repsonse file may be used where ever a filespec can occur.  A response file
is prefixed with a '@'.  The linker will automatically look for two response
files called "VAL.ENV".  One in the directory where the linker resides and the
other from the current drive/directory.  In this manner, defaults may be set.
Note these files work like any response file, and carriage returns are
probably not desired.

Switches, which are explained below, may appear either before or after a
file specification.  A switch which immediately preceeds a file specificaion
must be followed by a space.  Switch are prefixed by "/".

Segment order expressions:

<exp>     :: <term>   [{'or' |'+'|'|'} <term>  ]...
<term  >  :: <factor> [{'and'|'*'|'&'} <factor>]...
<factor>  :: ['!']

	      'Talse'		        | (never include segment)
	      'Class['  <pattern> ']'   | (inc if seg's class matches pattern)

	      'Segment['<pattern> ']'   | (inc if segment name matches pattern)
	      '(' <exp> ')'}
<pattern> :: A pattern used to match a class, group or segment.  The pattern
	     may contain imbedded '?' characters which will match any single
	     character.  The pattern may contain a leading and/or trailing '*'
	     character.  If the '*' is leading, then the remaining pattern must
	     match the end of the class, group or segment name.  If the '*' is
	     trailing, then the remaining pattern must match the beginning of
	     the class, group or segment name.  If the '*' is both leading and
	     trailing, then the remaining pattern can match anywhere in the
	     class, group or segment name.

Example: /DOSSEG is equivalent to:
	 /ORDER:(class[*code],!group[dgroup],class[begdata],
		 !(class[bss]|class[stack]),class[bss],class[stack])
