/FPa, /Lp, and Near Strings Disabled with Quick Library (60143)




This article was previously published under Q60143

SUMMARY

If QBX.EXE is invoked with the /L option to load in a Quick library, the following compiler options will be disabled when the Make EXE File command is chosen from the Run menu: 
   Alternate Math        /FPa
   OS/2 Protected Mode   /Lp
   Near Strings
This information applies to Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) versions 7.00 and 7.10 for MS-DOS.

MORE INFORMATION

A Quick library must be compiled using 80x87 or Emulator Math (/FPi), MS-DOS or OS/2 real mode (/Lr), and Far Strings (/FS). Therefore, even if Basic 7.00 or 7.10 is installed to support the Alternate Math library, OS/2 protected mode, and Near Strings, these compiler options cannot be selected from the Make EXE File menu option when a Quick library is loaded.
