Summary:

The following command-line switches are documented incorrectly on

pages 6 and 7 of the "Microsoft C Reference" for the C compiler

version 6.0, as well as in the C 6.0 online Help:

- The /Gi switch that reads

/Gi

should read

/Gi[mdtfile]

- The /Li switch that reads

/Li[number]

should read

/Li

The /Gi switch takes an optional mdtfile argument, which specifies the

name of the file to contain the incremental compilation information.

If mdtfile is unspecified, /Gi defaults to <basename>.MDT.

The /Li switch does not take an optional argument. In the presence of

an argument (for example, /Li60), the compiler will generate an

"unknown switch" warning and ignore it.

Under C/C++ version 7.0, these options are not valid.
