SUMMARY
On pages 30 and 31 of the &quot;Microsoft C Reference&quot; manual shipped with C versions 6.00 and 6.00a, there are contradictory references to the far-call translation options available for LINK. On page 30 under the /F[ARCALLTRANSLATION] option, far-call translations are listed as being &quot;turned on by default.&quot; On the other hand, on page 31 under the /NOF[ARCALLTRANSLATION] option, far-calls are listed as being &quot;off by default.&quot;

The statement on page 30 is the one that is incorrect because the correct default for far-call translations is &quot;off.&quot; Far calls are done only when /F is explicitly specified to LINK.

Note that when the CL command is used to invoke LINK, CL itself is responsible for passing the /F option to the linker.
