• The initialization code segment is created only if a register intialization record
for 8086 segment registers exists in the input. These register initialization
records are automatically produced by 8086-based translators for main
modules.
• BIND and OVERLAY controls used in conjunction.with INITCODE will cause
LINK86 to ignore the INITCODE control and issue a warning message.
• INITCODE should b,e used to ensure compatibility with 8085-based LINK86,
LOC86, and LIB86 products.
• The name of the new segment, if created, is ??INITCODE.
