- Subject: Undocumented Microsoft LINK Option: /E
-
- There exists an undocumented(?) switch to Microsoft LINK.EXE ver 3.XX,
- which will cause an automatic compaction during binding. This process
- will eliminate storage for uninitialized arrays from the .EXE file
- produced by the linker, reducing the .EXE file size by up to 300 percent!
- To use this feature, specify the /E option to the command line, eg
-
- LINK myprog/E;
-
- should work. For example, PCKERMIT.EXE ver 2.27 was 80K when linked normally
- but shrunk down to 33K when linked with the /E option...
