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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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:  /MA[X]:number
 
     Sets the maximum memory allocation to <number> 16-byte paragraphs.
 
     The memory allocation fields tell DOS the minimum and maximum
     memory needed to load and run the program. The <number> must equal
     or exceed the minimum allocation.
     See: ◄/MIN Option►
 
     Specify <number> in decimal format or C-language notation.
     See: ◄Entering Numeric Arguments►
 
     This option is equivalent to LINK's /CPARM option and applies only
     to DOS programs.
