SUMMARY
LINK options can be set in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file (or in the MS-DOS command line) as an environment variable with the statement "SET LINK=options". The following is an example
SET LINK=/NOE /NOI /E
where /NOE is NOEXTDICTIONARY, /NOI is NOIGNORECASE, /E is EXEPACK.
This behavior can cause some unexpected errors to occur because you might forget what LINK switches are SET in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file.
MORE INFORMATION
If the /E [XEPACK] switch is SET within your AUTOEXEC.BAT FILE and you attempt to create a Quick library with the /Q [UICKLIB] switch, the following linker error is generated:
L1003 /QUICKLIB, /EXEPACK incompatible
To make Quick libraries with /E [XEPACK] set as a LINK option, use /NOP [ACKCODE] to turn /E [XEPACK] off.
