Syntax: /DE[BUG]
The /DE option is used to prepare for debugging with any debugger. With this option, LINK386 embeds symbolic data and line number information in the executable output file.
You can run this executable file outside Debug; the debugging information in the file is ignored. However, to reduce executable file size, use this option only for debugging. Then you can link a separate version without the /DE option after the program is debugged.
