Page 94  /Li Option and Expanded Memory

Note: Incremental linking uses expanded memory (as defined by the LIM
specifications, versions 3.2 and higher) if it is available.

WARNING: If you have installed additional memory on an 80286 or 80386
system, you may encounter problems when linking incrementally,
especially if you have configured the board to use both expanded AND
extended memory. In particular, your computer may lock up if you use
incremental link in conjunction with a Talltrees AT3 expanded memory
board. (Other boards may or may not be subject to this problem.) If
this happens, you have five choices:

1. Contact the manufacturer of the memory board for information on
   solving this problem.

2. Remove the Expanded Memory Manager (EMM) device driver and continue
   to link incrementally.

3. Disable extended memory (used by VDISK) and continue to link
   incrementally.

4. Leave the memory and device driver in place, but turn off
   incremental linking. From the QuickC environment, choose the
   Options menu Make command and then choose the Linker Flags button.
   From the command line, avoid the /Zi option.

5. Contact Microsoft Product Support for additional information on
   ways to work around the problem.
