Using the /PAC switch with LINK Version 4.06 results in the
following error:
fatal error L1001: PAC : option name ambiguous
This same option works correctly on Versions 3.65 and 5.01.21, and is
documented as being a valid shorthand name for /PACKCODE on Page 131
of the "QuickC Tool Kit."
The problem is due to a conflict with an option that is not documented
in the Tool Kit, but is displayed when LINK is invoked with /HELP. The
option that causes the ambiguity is /PACKDATA, which causes data
segments to be combined.
The shortest version of /PACKCODE that can be used is /PACKC.
Similarly, /PACKD is the shortest version of /PACKDATA that can be
used.
