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out of date.
Using Projects without PWB Extensions

─────Programmer's WorkBench─────────────────────────────────────────────────
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.
See: Load, ◄About PWB Extensions► ◄Tagged Sections in TOOLS.INI►
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.
