Summary:
If you attempt to suppress the LINK copyright banner by specifying the
/nologo switch on the command line of the ML.EXE driver in the
Microsoft Macro Assembler (MASM) version 6.0, ML does not pass /nologo
to the linker correctly. There are two workarounds for this problem:
1. Invoke LINK separately with the /nologo switch.
-or-
2. Set the LINK environment variable as follows to specify the /nologo
option at all times:
SET LINK=/nologo
More Information:
The /nologo option is used to suppress the display of the copyright
banner for Microsoft language products and utilities. For example, the
assembler may be invoked as follows:
ml /nologo test.asm
This will assemble a file without first displaying the assembler
copyright message. To pass the /nologo switch to the linker, the
following command line should be used:
ml test.asm /link /nologo
This does not work properly with the MASM 6.0 ML driver. The /nologo
switch is passed in the "library" response area and is not seen by
LINK until after the copyright banner has been displayed.
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in MASM version 6.0. We
are researching this problem and will post new information here as it
becomes available.
