/PDD Linker Option

Syntax: Default:
/PDD /EXEC

Use /PDD to identify the output file as a physical device driver (.SYS file). You can also identify the output file as a .SYS file with the PHYSICAL DEVICE statement in a module definition file.

If you specify /PDD with any of /EXEC, /DLL, or /VDD , then only the last specified of the options takes effect. If you do not specify /PDD, or any of the other options above, then by default the linker produces an .EXE file (/EXEC).
