BIND

Brief

Bind real-mode Family API stub.

Syntax

BIND infile [implibs] [linklibs] [options]

The <infile> field is required; all others are optional. Options

must be entered last.

<infile> The name of the OS/2 program to be bound. BIND

looks in the current directory unless you specify
a complete path name. If you provide no extension,
.EXE is assumed.

<implibs> The names of one or more import libraries. Use this

field if your program calls functions imported using
import libraries.
You can specify the file APILMR.OBJ, which provides a
64K default data segment when running in real mode.

<linklibs> The names of one or more libraries and object

files. Use this field to supply object code needed
to resolve dynamic-link calls. Separate file names
with spaces.

BIND automatically searches for API.LIB and OS2.LIB.

If you want additional libraries, be sure to specify
the full path name.

<options>

BIND options must appear last on the command line. You can specify
options in uppercase or lowercase and use a single letter or the
full option name. For example, /M, /m, /MAP, and /map are
equivalent.
