Summary:
The /PAU (PAUSE) linker option tells LINK to pause in the link session
and display a message before it writes the executable file to disk,
allowing you to insert a new disk on which to store the executable
file.
In Microsoft LINK.EXE Versions 3.61, 3.65, 3.69, 5.01.20, and 5.05,
the /PAU linker option does not pause the link session.
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information
here as it becomes available.
More Information:
In versions where the /PAU linker option functions correctly, LINK
displays the following message before it creates the executable file:
About to generate .EXE file
Change diskette in drive ___ and press <ENTER>
LINK resumes processing after the ENTER key is pressed.
