Use LINK /R to Avoid Low EMS/XMS Memory Errors

• Microsoft Visual Basic Standard and Professional Editions for MS-DOS, version 1.0

SUMMARY

Using the /R option may prevent an "insufficient EMS or XMS" or "DOSX16: not enough memory on exec" error from occurring while using the version of LINK.EXE in Microsoft Visual Basic for MS-DOS.

MORE INFORMATION

These errors can occur if there is not enough extended memory for the LINKer to perform its operations in extended memory.

Using the /R option when LINKing will prevent the LINK utility from using extended memory under MS-DOS. Instead, it will use conventional memory to perform its operations. The /R option must appear first in the option list.

REFERENCES

A reference to the DOSX16 error can be found on page 510 of the "Reference" manual of Microsoft Visual Basic for MS-DOS, version 1.0, under error number R6907.
