# Linking Assembler Into C Programs

With the advent of the C-68 “C” Compiler (available from IQLR), an entire library of QDOS functions are available. However, there may be times when you need a special purpose routine that isn’t available in this library, or if you use the Metacomco QLC which only comes with an all purpose QDOS trap function.
