Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     PWB automatically loads extensions if they follow a specific
     naming convention. For extensions that follow the convention, it
     is not necessary to put load statements in TOOLS.INI.
     See: Autoload, ◄PWB Loading Sequence►
 
     During extension autoload, PWB searches the directory where the
     PWB executable file is located for filenames with the pattern:
 
          PWB*.MXT
 
     PWB loads as many extensions with names of this form as it finds.
     When PWB loads an extension, it also loads the extension's tagged
     section of TOOLS.INI (if defined).
     See: ◄PWB Extension Tags in TOOLS.INI► ◄PWB Loading Sequence►
 
     To suppress extension autoloading, use the /DA option on the PWB
     command line.
     See: ◄PWB Command Line►
 
     WARNING: Do not rename editor extensions. Unpredictable errors can
              occur if you rename an extension. PWB and some extensions
              may also assume the predefined filename.
