<deffile> Field

─────LINK───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Use the <deffile> field to specify a module-definition (.DEF)
file. A .DEF file is required for an overlaid DOS program or a
DLL. It is optional for a Windows application. LINK assumes a .DEF
extension. If the filename has no extension, put a period (.) at
the end of the name.
By default, LINK assumes that a .DEF file must be specified. To
link without a .DEF file, use a semicolon (;) to terminate the
command line before the <deffile> field (or accept the default
NUL.DEF at the Definitions File prompt).
LINK searches for the .DEF file in the directory specified for the
file, if a path is included, or in the current directory.
