It's better to put the file names in the linker control file anyway.  I
use a wrapper for MPLINK called LINKPIC.  It is part of the PIC
development environment at http://www.embedinc.com/pic that you can
download for free.

You should only run MPASMWIN and MPLINK directly.  Let the linker run
whatever else it needs itself.

You are saying it stops before it's done, then saying the whole thing
seems to work.  OK I guess if it all works, but it doesn't sound right.
