LINK considers to be a data segment any segment definition with a class name that does not end in CODE. Data-segment packing combines adjacent data- segment definitions into the same physical segment. Specify <number> in bytes to set the maximum size for physical data segments formed by /PACKD. The default is 64K. When LINK cannot add another segment without exceeding <number>, it forms a new segment. See: ◄Entering Numeric Arguments► /PACKD produces slightly faster and more compact code. It affects only programs with multiple data segments and is valid only for segmented executable files. It might be necessary to use /PACKD to get around the limit of 254 physical data segments per executable file imposed by an operating system. If you get LINK error L1073 "file-segment limit exceeded", try using /PACKD. -♦-
