Syntax: /NOD[EFAULTLIBRARYSEARCH][:filename]
This option tells LINK386 to ignore Default Libraries when resolving external references. If you specify an object file in <filename>, LINK386 ignores only the default libraries in <filename>.
In general, high-level-language programs do not work correctly without standard libraries. Thus, if you use the /NOD option, you should explicitly specify the name of a standard library in the <libraries> field of the command line.
