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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     The following list summarizes the macros used in PWB project
     makefiles.
 
     Macro        Description
 
     FILES        Lists all files added to the project file list.
 
     <ext>S       Lists all files in the project list with the .<ext>
                  extension.
 
                  When this macro is used in a Build:target's command
                  line, PWB places the macro in the dependency line for
                  that target.
 
                  PWB includes an inference rule in the project only
                  when its target extension is used in an <ext>S macro
                  in a project command line. For example, if you
                  specify a .src.dst inference rule, PWB puts the rule
                  in the makefile only when a DSTS macro is referenced
                  in a target command.
 
     <ext>S_EXT   Lists additional "external" files in the project list
                  with the .<ext> extension.
 
                  PWB defines this macro and prepends it to the <ext>S
                  macro-definition when there are matching files in
                  project list.
 
     <ext>_FILE   Names a unique file in the project list. Only one file
                  with the .<ext> extension is allowed in the project
                  list. PWB issues a message when more than one such
                  file is added.
 
                  Examples: DEF_FILE, MAP_FILE
 
     PWB creates the definition for a special build macro when it finds
     a macro reference with one of the forms above in a project command
     line in the project makefile. Special macros are not defined unless
     referenced in a command in the actual makefile.
