─────Using LINK Options─────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Syntax Rules
 
        ■ Options can be specified anywhere in any field, except as
          noted, and in the LINK environment variable.
          See: ◄LINK Environment Variable►
 
        ■ Options always begin with a forward slash (/).
 
        ■ Options are not case sensitive.
 
        ■ You can specify an option by using the shortest sequence of
          characters that uniquely identifies the option. The help
          screen for each option shows the the minimum legal
          abbreviation with the optional part enclosed in brackets.
          This help file uses meaningful yet legal forms of the option
          names.
 
        ■ Some linker options take numeric arguments. You can enter
          numbers in decimal format or C-language notation.
          See: ◄Entering Numeric Arguments►
 
     Usage
 
     If an option appears more than once in the input fields or in the
     LINK variable, the effect is the same as if the option were given
     only once. If conflicting options appear, the most recently
     specified input option takes effect. A command-line option or one
     given in response to a prompt overrides one specified in the LINK
     environment variable.
 
     For example, the command-line option /SEG:512 cancels the effect
     of the environment-variable option /SEG:256.
