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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────LINK───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Specify one or more object files in the <objfiles> field. You must
     enter at least one filename. Separate multiple filenames with plus
     (+) or space characters. The default extension is .OBJ. You can
     specify a path with the filename.
 
     You can specify libraries as load libraries in this field.
     See: ◄Entering Library Files as Object Files►
 
     How LINK Looks for Object Files
 
     When searching for object (and load library) files, LINK looks in
     the following locations in this order:
 
       1. The directory specified for the file if a path is included.
          If the file is not in that directory, the search ends
 
       2. The current directory.
 
       3. Any directories specified in the LIB environment variable.
 
     If LINK cannot find an object file, and a floppy drive is
     associated with that object file, LINK pauses and prompts you
     to insert a disk that contains the object file.
 
     Overlays
 
     A special syntax lets you assign object files to overlays in a DOS
     program. This syntax uses parentheses, (), to group files into an
     overlay. Future versions of LINK may not support this method.
     See: ◄Creating Overlaid DOS Programs►
