─────/INCR Option───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Syntax: /INC[REMENTAL]
The /INCR option must be used to prepare for subsequent linking
with ILINK. This option produces a .SYM file and an .ILK file,
each containing additional information needed by ILINK.
See: ◄What Is ILINK?► (in ILINK Help)
When /INCR is specified, LINK creates a segmented executable file.
If the main output is a DOS application, LINK adds a stub loader
so the program can run under DOS. The file is slightly larger than
it would be without /INCR.
The /PADC and /PADD options are often used with the /INCR option
to increase buffer size and thereby increase the likelihood that
incremental linking will be successful.
See: ◄/PADC Option►
◄/PADD Option►
You should not use /INCR or ILINK for a program's release version.
ILINK is intended to speed development and debugging.
The /EXEPACK and /TINY options are not compatible with /INCR.
See: ◄/EXEPACK Option►
◄/TINY Option►
In rare cases, linking with /INCR can cause warning L4001 to be
generated. If this occurs, do not use this option or ILINK.
