     The Microsoft Browser Database Maintenance Utility (BSCMAKE)
     converts .SBR files created by compilers and assemblers into
     database files that can be read by the PWB Source Browser. The
     resulting Source Browser database file has the extension .BSC.
     See: ◄Browser Menu► (in PWB help)
          ◄Browser Options► (in PWB help)
          ◄Creating Source Browser Files► (in CL help)
 
     You can build or rebuild a Source Browser database outside the PWB
     environment by specifying the source files on the BSCMAKE command
     line along with any options.
     See: ◄Overview of Database Building►
          ◄BSCMAKE Command Line►
          ◄BSCMAKE Options►
 
     You can run BSCMAKE more efficiently by first preparing the .SBR
     files with SBRPACK.
     See: ◄SBRPACK►
 
     Precompiled headers let BSCMAKE build a database more efficiently
     because BSCMAKE reads the .SBR file for a precompiled header only
     once. The .SBR files for object files that use precompiled headers
     are smaller; database building is faster, and the files take up
     less space on disk.
