[Info-vax] Linker question

Hello !

I usually compile and link programs on my development server and distribute 
over to the other systems which are not in our cluster.
One of these nodes is currently at VMS 7.3 while our dev server (and all 
others) is at 8.3.

I have a problem with just 1 program calling the SOR$ routines. When linked 
on my dev server it gives a "shareable image mismatch" error with 
SORTSHR.EXE  if I execute it on the 7.3 server. So I have to link this one 
program on the target system.

Question:
Can I copy SORTSHR.EXE from the target system onto mine, someplace 
convenient, and then instruct the linker to link against this version of 
SORTSHR.EXE instead of the one "live" on my dev server ?
I just don't know how to tell the linker to do this, but I bet it can be 
done.

I know I probably could copy my own 8.3 SORTSHR.EXE to the 7.3 server and be 
done about it, but I can't take any risks changing things at this other 
site. Even if there are no risks, I guess... I'd rather not touch anything 
on their server.

Thanks !
