The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft 32-Bit Executable Linker for Windows NT, version 1.0
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary:
The 32-bit LINK provided with Visual C++ for Windows NT is similar to
the LINK32.EXE utility provided with the Microsoft Win32 Software
Development Kit (SDK) for Windows NT. Although LINK and LINK32 have
many common options, there are a few differences to be aware of when
converting a build from LINK32 to LINK.
More Information:
The following options are unique to LINK and are invalid for LINK32:
     /COMMENT
     /DEF
     /DEFAULTLIB
     /EXPORT
     /IMPLIB
     /NODEFAULTLIB
     /NOLOGO
     /OPT
     /WARN
The following LINK32 options are not applicable anymore, and hence
they are invalid for LINK:
     /GPSIZE
     /HEAP
     /IGNORE
     /ROM
     /STRICT
