/em                  Use extended dictionary in Microsoft-compatible library.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Description:

 The /em option directs WarpLink to use extra indexing in libraries.
 Some library (.LIB) files have extra indexing, referred to as an extended
 dictionary, that helps linkers more effectively locate modules contained
 within the file.  This can speed up link times in some cases, although
 WarpLink has been optimized to operate effectively even without extra
 indexing.  

 Because this extra indexing can cause library modules to link into the
 program even if they no longer resolve a symbol reference, use of /em
 may link in multiple modules that define the same symbol.  If this
 happens, then WarpLink will display a symbol has more than one
 public definition warning.  The first definition of the symbol has
 precedence over any definitions that may follow.

 Some Borland library files contain extra indexing, but use a format that
 differs from the Microsoft extended dictionary format. The /em option
 will not help with these files.

 Technical Note:

 Microsoft Link and many other linkers default to using the extended
 dictionary in library files.  If you do not wish to use the dictionary, then
 you must turn off the default by specifying a particular option (e.g. use
 the Microsoft Link options /NOE or /NOEXTENDEDDICTIONARY). 
 With WarpLink the situation is reversed.  You must use /em to turn on
 use of the extended dictionaries.
