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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────Creating Bound Program Files (/Fb)─────────────────────────────────────
 
     The /Fb option creates bound executable files that run under both
     DOS and OS/2.
 
     Option          File Created
 
     /Fb             A bound .EXE file with same base name as the
                     source file
 
     /Fbfilename     A bound file named <filename>.EXE and a
                     protected-mode .EXE file with the same base name
                     as the source file
 
     To create a bound program that runs under OS/2 or DOS, use a
     command of the following type:
 
          FL /Lp /Fb QSORT.FOR
 
     To create both a protected-mode .EXE file and a bound .EXE file,
     specify a file name different from the base name of the source
     file:
 
          FL /Lp /FbQSORTB QSORT.FOR
 
     The example above creates QSORT.EXE and QSORTB.EXE.
 
     For /Fb, the files OS2.LIB, APILMR.OBJ, and API.LIB must be in
     the current directory or in a directory specified in the LIB
     environment variable. BIND.EXE must be in the current directory
     or a directory listed in the PATH environment variable.
 
     If you use the /Fm (map) option with the /Fb option, the
     resulting map file contains the map from BIND, rather than the
     linker map.
