     Syntax:  /NOE[XTDICTIONARY]
 
     The /NOE option prevents LINK from using extended dictionaries
     when resolving references.
 
     An extended dictionary is a list of symbol locations in a library
     created by LIB. LINK uses extended dictionaries to speed up
     library searches. However, if LINK finds a previously resolved
     reference listed in an extended dictionary, it assumes that a
     duplicate definition exists and issues an error message. Use /NOE
     when you redefine a symbol and the following error occurs:
 
          symbol multiply defined, use /NOE
 
     Using /NOE slows the linking process.
