Important Notice
The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software,
purely for historical purposes.
If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming,
you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully
out of date.

─────Specify Protected-Mode Functions (/N)──────────────────────────────────
Syntax: /N[AMES] functions
Specifies those functions that are supported in protected mode
only. When this option is specified, your program is aborted by a
call to BadDynLink whenever any of the named functions are called
in real mode.
In <functions>, enter either of the following:
■ A list of one or more function names separated by spaces.
■ A file specification preceded by the at sign (@). The file is
a list of function names, one per line.
This option helps resolve external references. However, your
program is responsible for checking the operating-system version
and ensuring that the specified functions are never called in real
mode.
If you do not use this option, and your program makes calls to
functions not in the Family API, then BIND fails to convert your
program.
