/PACKDATA is incorrectly listed as an available switch for LINK
Versions 4.06 and 4.07. LINK Version 4.06 comes with the QuickC
compiler, and LINK Version 4.07 comes with the QuickAssembler.
The /PACKDATA option is valid ONLY for segmented-executable files --
OS/2 or Windows; it has no meaning for DOS. Real mode executable means
a DOS-only program. To use the /PACKDATA switch, create a .DEF file
with at least the following statement:
NAME MyProtectModeProgram
This switch is implemented in segmented-executable LINK Versions 5.02
and later.
