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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Syntax:  APPLOADER [']loadername[']
 
     Replaces the default Windows loader with a custom loader. Use
     APPLOADER when you want your Windows program to be loaded by a
     different loader from the one Windows calls at load time.
 
     The <loadername> is an identifier for an externally defined
     loader. It is an external reference that must be resolved at link
     time in an object file or static library. The name is optionally
     enclosed in single or double quotation marks (' or "). It is not
     case sensitive unless the /NOI option is used with the linker.
 
     Example
 
          APPLOADER __MSLANGLOAD
 
     This statement replaces the default loader with a loader called
     __MSLANGLOAD, which is defined in the Microsoft FORTRAN run-time
     libraries. Windows programs that use huge arrays will fail unless
     loaded by this custom loader.
