File extension DEF description:
optlink uses a module definition file (.def file) to provide additional input for its operation when generating a segmented .exe or .dll output file. The .def file usually is omitted to generate a DOS .exe file. The .def file describes the essential characteristics of an application or library for Win16 or Win32. It also assigns segment sequences, function orders for encapsulated functions, and so on, even in conventional DOS .exe files. Module definition files can also be used to create import libraries using implib.Associated applications to file extension DEF:

OPTLINK is a super-fast, high-capacity program linker. It is designed for use by professional programmers to efficiently create both standard .exe and .com executable files for use with MS-DOS and segmented .exe files (segmented executable) and dynamic link libraries (.dll) for use with Windows and Win32 in significantly less time than is required by other linkers.
OPTLINK derives its spectacular speed from being written entirely in hand- tuned assembly language, making maximal use of multithreading and processor scheduling. It does full links faster than more pedestrian linkers do incremental links.
OPTLINK combines object (.obj) and library (.lib) files into a single file that is executable by the operating system. OPTLINK can optionally create memory maps and symbol tables that are useful for debugging.
