Summary:
SYMPTOMS
In the Microsoft LINK utility, if the /SE[GMENTS] switch is used
without specifying the ":number", LINK will generate the following
error:
LINK : fatal error L1008 : Segment limit set too high.
Omitting the colon before the number, putting white space between
/SE and the colon, or putting white space between the colon and
the number will also produce the error.
RESOLUTION
The correct syntax for the switch is:
/SE[GMENTS]:number
More Information:
The Microsoft QuickC for Windows (QC/Win) version 1.0 help, page 217
of the "Microsoft Quick C for Windows Toolkit," the FORTRAN 5.1
QuickHelp, page 384 of the "FORTRAN 5.1 Environment and Tools," the
MASM 6.0 QuickHelp, and page 359 of the MASM 6.0 "Microsoft Macro
Assembler Programmer's Guide" show the syntax of the option as
/SE[GMENTS][:number]
incorrectly giving the :number as optional.
