Summary:
/PACKDATA is incorrectly listed as an available switch for LINK
versions 4.06 and 4.07 and QLINK 4.10. These are the linkers that ship
with the QuickC and QuickC with QuickAssembler packages.
The /PACKDATA option is valid ONLY for segmented-executable files for
OS/2 or Windows; it has no meaning for real-mode DOS executables. To
use the /PACKDATA switch, create a .DEF file with at least the
following statement:
NAME MyProtectModeProgram
This switch is implemented in segmented-executable LINK versions 5.02
and later. The QuickC versions 2.50 and 2.51 "Microsoft QuickC Toolkit"
manual describes /PACKDATA on page 139, but fails to mention that this
option only applies to Windows and OS/2 applications.
