     Syntax:  /PADD[ATA][:padsize]
 
     The /PADD option adds filler bytes to the end of each data segment
     for subsequent linking with ILINK. Use /PADD only with the /INCR
     option. You can also specify the /PADC option to add padding to
     code segments.
     See: /INCR Option
          /PADC Option
 
     Specify <padsize> in decimal format or C-language notation. The
     default is 16 bytes, which is contributed by /INCR. This default
     padding is usually sufficient for successful incremental linking.
     The total of padding plus physical segment cannot exceed 64K.
