Do not specify additional options that conflict or that QBX
has made inactive in this dialog box, such as /FPa when a
Quick library is loaded. You must use the slash (/) form of
compiler options in this field; using the dash (-) will
cause a compiler error.

All Make EXE options are written to QBX.INI when you exit
QBX and reloaded when QBX is started.
Note: The /FPa and Near Strings options are disabled when
a Quick library is loaded.
