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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────/ALIGN Option──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Syntax:  /A[LIGNMENT]:size
 
     The /ALIGN option aligns segments in a segmented executable file
     at the boundaries specified by <size> bytes. The <size> argument
     must be an integer power of two. The default is 512 bytes.
     See: ◄Entering Numeric Arguments►
 
     /ALIGN reduces the size of the disk file by reducing the size of
     gaps between segments. It has no effect on the size of the file in
     memory.
 
     Example
 
     The following specification aligns segments at 16-byte boundaries:
 
          /ALIGN:16
