Page 593 of the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Programmer's Guide" (for 7.00
and 7.10) incorrectly states that you can use the LINKer switch /INC,
which sets up your .EXE file for later use with the Microsoft
Incremental Linker (ILINK.EXE). Microsoft BASIC Professional
Development System (PDS) Version 7.00 or 7.10 does not support the
Incremental Linker. This is a documentation error, and the section
"Preparing for Incremental Linking (/INC)" should be removed from Page
593.
ILINK.EXE is also documented on Pages 261-269 (Chapter 14) of the
"Microsoft CodeView 2.3 and Utilities User's Guide" provided with
Microsoft BASIC PDS 7.00 and 7.10, but ILINK.EXE is NOT shipped with
or supported by BASIC PDS 7.00 or 7.10. The reference to BASIC on Page
263 should be removed.
Also, the /INC option needs to be added to the table of "Invalid LINK
Options" on Page 590 of the "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: Programmer's Guide"
for 7.00 and 7.10.
This information applies to Microsoft BASIC Professional Development
System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS and MS OS/2.
ILINK.EXE is shipped with and supported by Microsoft C Version 5.10,
QuickC Versions 2.00 and 2.01, and Microsoft Macro Assembler Version
5.10.
