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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     Options macros represent arguments to be passed to the commands
     for invoking the Microsoft language compilers. The predefined
     inference rules use options macros. By default, these macros are
     undefined. As with all macros, they can be used even if they are
     undefined; an undefined macro generates a null string.
     See: ◄Command Macros►
          ◄Null Macros and Undefined Macros►
          ◄Predefined Inference Rules►
 
     You can define the options macros with the options you want to
     pass to the predefined inference rules. You can also use these
     macros in commands in description blocks and inference rules.
