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documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.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 Set Program List command creates a program list file,
which defines the components of a multimodule program. By
default, program list files have the .MAK extension.
 
A program list may contain the following types of files:
   ■ Include files (.H, .INC)
   ■ Source files (.C, .ASM)
   ■ Object files (.OBJ)
   ■ Library files (.LIB)
 
The Build Program and Rebuild All commands use the program
list to find out which files belong to the program.
Set the name of the program list file from the dialog box:
┌─────────────────────────────────┐
│ File Name: ▒▒▒▒.mak ◄───────────│─┐
│                                 │ ■ Type a new file name
│ C:\XXX ◄──current directory     │   (program.mak) here,
│                                 │   OR

│        └────────────────────────│─┘
└─────────────────────────────────┘ ■ Choose <OK>
If the file does not exist, QuickC asks whether to create
it. If you answer <Yes>, QuickC displays the Program List
dialog box. Complete the box to create the list.
Use the Program List dialog box to create and edit the
program list. QuickC gives the executable file the same
name as the program list, but with the .EXE extension.
