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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────/EXEPACK Option────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Syntax:  /E[XEPACK]
 
     The /EXEPACK option directs LINK to remove series of repeated
     bytes (usually null characters) and to optimize the load-time
     relocation table before creating the executable file.
 
     Cautions
 
        ■ /EXEPACK can reduce file size but might increase load time.
          In unusual cases, this option can increase file size. LINK
          returns an error message when this occurs.
 
        ■ You cannot debug packed files with CodeView because
          /EXEPACK removes symbolic information. LINK warns you if
          /EXEPACK is specified with the /CO option.
          See: ◄/CO Option►
 
        ■ Do not use /EXEPACK on a Windows program.
 
        ■ /EXEPACK is incompatible with the /INCR option.
