 BLINKER INCREMENTAL OFF       Disable CA-Clipper incremental linking
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Purpose  : Disable CA-Clipper 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.

 Symbol Table Compression:

 Using this command also enables symbol table compression for both CA-Clipper
 Summer'87 and CA-Clipper 5.x, 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.

 Dynamic Paging:

 Using this option with CA-Clipper 5.x applications also enables dynamic
 paging of CA-Clipper code, which provides very good runtime performance for
 overlaid CA-Clipper code, with negligible memory overhead.
