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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

─────/TINY Option───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Syntax:  /T[INY]
 
     The /TINY option generates a .COM output file rather than an .EXE
     file. The default extension is .COM. When the /CO option is used
     with /TINY, debug information is put in a separate file with the
     same base name as the .COM file and with the .DBG extension.
     See: ◄/CO Option►
 
     This option is for tiny-model programs and is for DOS only.
     Windows and OS/2 programs cannot be converted to a .COM format.
 
     Tiny-model programs have only one physical segment. An assembly-
     language program can declare more than one logical segment, but
     the segments must be in the same group. The program must have no
     far references. Segment addresses cannot be used as immediate data
     for instructions. For example, you cannot use the instruction
 
          mov   ax,CODESEG
 
     The /TINY option is incompatible with the /INCR option.
