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out of date.
LINK Prompts

─────LINK Prompts───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
LINK prompts you if any fields are missing or invalid. For each
prompt, enter the same input that you would enter on the command
line or in a response file, then press ENTER. To have LINK prompt
you for every field, type LINK by itself and press ENTER.
LINK Prompt Field
Object Modules [.OBJ]: ◄<objfiles>►
Run File [basename.EXE]: ◄<exefile>►
List File [NUL.MAP]: ◄<mapfile>►
Libraries [.LIB]: ◄<libraries>►
Definitions File [NUL.DEF]: ◄<deffile>►
To extend a long <objfiles> or <libraries> response to a new line,
type a plus sign (+) as the last character on the current line.
When the same prompt appears on a new line, you can continue. Do
not split a filename across lines.
Defaults are displayed in square brackets in each prompt. If you
specify a filename without an extension, LINK adds a default
extension for the type of file expected. To specify a filename
without an extension, enter a period (.) after the filename. LINK
assumes a default response for any blank field except <objfiles>.
■ To select the default response to a prompt, press ENTER in a
blank field. The next prompt appears.
■ To select default responses for all remaining prompts, enter
a semicolon (;) in the field.
Options can be entered anywhere in any field.
See: ◄LINK Options List►
◄Using LINK Options►
You can specify a response file in any prompt field. The response
file can supply input for one or more consecutive fields or all
remaining fields.
See: ◄LINK Response File►
