1.00 WINDOWS

Summary: The 32-bit LINK provided with Visual C++ for Windows NT is similar to the LINK32.EXE utility provided with the Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT. Although LINK and LINK32 have many common options, there are a few differences to be aware of when converting a build from LINK32 to LINK. More Information: The following options are unique to LINK and are invalid for LINK32: /COMMENT /DEF /DEFAULTLIB /EXPORT /IMPLIB /NODEFAULTLIB /NOLOGO /OPT /WARN The following LINK32 options are not applicable anymore, and hence they are invalid for LINK: /GPSIZE /HEAP /IGNORE /ROM /STRICT
