     Once a project is created, the language and utility extensions are
     no longer required to build and maintain the project. You can set
     options, add files to the project, and build it. The makefile and
     status file contain all the required information.
 
     The extensions are still useful because they provide dialog boxes
     that make it easy to specify options for the compiler, LINK, and
     NMAKE. They also provide easy access to Help for these options.
 
     If you have a very large project and you are running out of memory
     when you build, you can omit loading these extensions to gain
     additional memory for the project. To start PWB without loading
     extensions, start PWB with the /DA option.

     To change compiler and linker options for the project, edit the
     appropriate macro using the Customize Project Template command from
     the Project Templates cascaded menu on the Options menu. you can
     also use the Assign function and the Build:macro switch for the
     macro.
