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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     When you start PWB, the TOOLS.INI file, PWB extensions, and the
     CURRENT.STS or project status file are loaded in the following
     sequence:
 
       1. The [PWB] section of TOOLS.INI (suppressed by the /D and /DT
          command-line options).
 
          If the [PWB] section contains Load switches, PWB loads the
          specified extension when the switch is encountered. When PWB
          loads the extension, PWB also loads the extension's tagged
          section, if any. For example, when the Help extension is
          loaded, PWB reads the [PWB-PWBHELP] section of TOOLS.INI.
 
       2. PWB extension autoload (suppressed by /D and /DA).
          See: ◄PWB Extension Autoload►
 
       3. TOOLS.INI operating-system tagged section (suppressed by /D
          and /DT).
          See: ◄Operating-System Tagged Sections of TOOLS.INI►
 
       4. The CURRENT.STS status file (suppressed by /D and /DS).
          See: ◄PWB and CodeView State File (CURRENT.STS)►
 
       5. TOOLS.INI tagged section for the file extension of the
          current file (suppressed by /D or /DT).
          See: ◄File-Extension Tags►
 
       6. The Autostart macro is run if it has been defined (suppressed
          by /D and /DT).
