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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The compiler tries to convert 80x86 jump instructions into their
     shorter form if possible; this gives smaller object code.
     Shortening some jump instructions may result in other jumps
     becoming eligible to be shortened and so further fixing passes
     may result in further size reduction.
 
     The compiler does this very quickly, so there should be no need
     to change this directive. It is maintained only for compatibility
     with earlier versions of the compiler.
