     Syntax:  /NOE[XTDICTIONARY]
 
     The /NOE option prevents LINK from using extended dictionaries in
     libraries. These dictionaries are lists of symbol locations in
     libraries created by the Microsoft Library Manager (LIB). LINK
     uses extended dictionaries to speed up library searches.
 
     Using /NOE slows LINK. Use this option when you are redefining a
     symbol or function defined in a library and you get the error
     L2044 "symbol multiply defined, use /NOE".
