     To create a PWB extension in C, make sure you have the required files.
     See: Required Files
 
     To build an extension with PWB:
 
       1. Create a project using the DOS PWB Extension template and your
          extension source files. This template automatically specifies
          the other required files.
 
       2. Choose Build from the Project menu to create the extension.
 
     To build an extension from the command line:
 
       1. Compile with the following compiler command:
 
               CL /c /Gs /ACw myext.c
 
       2. Link with the linker command:
 
               LINK /NOI exthdr myext, myext.mxt;
 
     Additional variations on memory models and compiler options can be
     used once you understand the requirements for a PWB extension.
     See: Compiling and Linking Extensions
 
     Note that you cannot debug extensions using the CodeView debugger.
