Reducing Text-Only Programs

You can reduce, by about 8K or 10K, the executable-file size for a
program that uses only the text-mode functions from GRAPHICS.LIB.
To do so, link your program with NOGRAPH.OBJ. If you explicitly
name GRAPHICS.LIB in the compile or link command, place it after
NOGRAPH.OBJ on the command line. Use the /NOE option to avoid
multiple symbol definitions. For example,
qcl test.c nograph /link [ graphics.lib ] /NOE
Your program built with NOGRAPH.OBJ cannot use graphics modes or
graphics functions. It cannot try to change the palette. If the
program tries to enter a graphics mode, _setvideomode will return
an error.
