BLINKER INCREMENTAL OFF (Clipper)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purpose : Disable incremental linking
Syntax : BLINKER INCREMENTAL OFF
Default : ON
This command is used to turn off Blinker's use of incremental linking.
Every link performed will be a full link, no new incremental .BIF file
will be created, and no padding will be left between procedures to allow
room for incremental linking.
This command should be used for the final link of an application to
obtain its smallest memory requirement, and best runtime performance.
Using this command also enables symbol table compression for both
Clipper Summer'87 and Clipper 5.01, which reduces the size of the
application symbol table by removing unneeded duplicate entries. The
amount of reduction achieved may vary between individual applications,
depending on programming style, and the size of the application.
Using this option with Clipper 5.01 applications also enables dynamic
paging of Clipper code, which provides very good runtime performance for
overlaid Clipper code, with negligible memory overhead.
