I got a similar description from Rational techies at the time.
In addition, they explained to me that compilation resulted
in a "object" already positioned in the "link" memory space.
So linking was a rather simple affair.
They also described some special attributed of the commonly
used operating system stuff which enable even faster
execution of command shells.
