SUMMARY
Using the /R option may prevent an &quot;insufficient EMS or XMS&quot; or &quot;DOSX16: not enough memory on exec&quot; 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.
