     Select the Language Options command to control how PWB compiles
     your program. Select the C Compiler Options command to choose
     options for compiling C programs. Select the C++ Compiler Options
     command to choose options for compiling C++ programs. Choices in
     either the C or the C++ Compiler Options dialog box are equivalent
     to options for the CL utility for building an executable file from
     the command line.
