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out of date.
Reducing Text-Only Programs
◄Up► ◄Contents► ◄Index► ◄Back►
────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
You can reduce, by about 8K or 10K, the executable-file size for a
program that uses only the text-mode functions from GRAPHICS.LIB.
To do so, link your program with NOGRAPH.OBJ. If you explicitly
name GRAPHICS.LIB in the compile or link command, place it after
NOGRAPH.OBJ on the command line. Use the /NOE option to avoid
multiple symbol definitions. For example,
qcl test.c nograph /link [ graphics.lib ] /NOE
Your program built with NOGRAPH.OBJ cannot use graphics modes or
graphics functions. It cannot try to change the palette. If the
program tries to enter a graphics mode, _setvideomode will return
an error.
