Syntax: /MA[X]:nnnn

This option sets the maximum allocation of memory for the program. The field <nnnn> contains the maximum number of 16-byte paragraphs required to load and run the program. This value must be equal to or greater than the minimum allocation.

Compare to /MI.

The Maximum Allocation option is equivalent to the LINK386 /CP option.

Refer to Set Max Allocation Space (/CP) (in LINK386 Help)

You can specify <nnnn> in decimal, octal, or hexadecimal radix using standard C language notation.
