Ok, it "works". The information that one has to provide a cmdline argument for newbef93.exe helped. It works with valx (needs a patched newbef93.obj) and also with MS link v5.1 from 1990 (doesn't need patching).

jwlink and wlink won't work. There are 2 errors

1. they both ignore the STACK combine type of a segment and instead rely on the stack segment to have class "STACK". This is a known issue, it was discussed a few years ago in the OW contributors newsgroup. I just fixed this issue for jwlink.

2. wrong DOS segment fixups are created. I guess this is because all segments have the same class name (in fact it is "", that is, no segment has a class name, but (j)wlink has no special handling for empty class names). Probably not too hard to fix for jwlink. It's a quite common experience with the OW tools: they work quite well as long as you stay in the OW world, but tend to fail immediately if something is done slightly "unusual".
