─────Entering Numeric Arguments─────────────────────────────────────────────
 
     Some linker options and module-definition file statements take
     numeric arguments. LINK uses C-language syntax, which allows you
     to specify numbers in any of the following forms:
 
        ■ Any number not prefixed with 0 or 0x is a decimal number.
 
        ■ Any number prefixed with 0 (but not 0x) is an octal number.
 
        ■ Any number prefixed with 0x is a hexadecimal number.
 
     For example, the value 127 is expressed in each form as follows:
 
          Decimal        127
 
          Octal          0177
 
          Hexadecimal    0x7F
