Description
dosld links the object file{s) given by file to create a program for execution under MS­

The options are described below.
-D
-H

-c
-F num
-S num
B-62
DS Allocate. This option instructs dosld to perform DS allocation. It is
generally used in conjunction with the -H option.
Load high. This option instructs dosld to set a field in the header of
the executable file to tell MS-DOS to load the program at the highest
available position in memory. It is most often used with programs in
which data precedes code in the memory image.
Include line numbers. This option instructs dosld to include line
numbers in the listing file {if any). Note that dosld cannot put line
numbers in the listing file if the source translator hasn't put them in
the object file.
Include public sy mbols. This option instructs dosld to include public
sym bols in the list file. The sym bols are sorted twice,
lexicographically and by address.
Ignore case. This option instructs dosld to treat upper and lower case
characters in symbol names as identical.
Set stack size. This option should be followed by a hexadecimal
number. dosld will use this number for the size in bytes of the stack
segment in the output file.
Set segment limit. This option should be followed by a decimal number
between 1 and 1024. The number sets the limit on the nu mber of
different segments that may be linked together. The default is 128.
Note that the higher the value given, the slower the link will be.
