SUMMARY
When setting a program list containing .ASM files in Programmer's
WorkBench (PWB) version 1.10, the following error message occurs:
Program List: file 'filename' will be ignored
File type unused by current build options
The .ASM files are not recognized because PWB 1.1 does not contain
build switches specific to any language. Build switches are now loaded
from language extension files (.MXT for DOS and .PXT for OS/2). If you
have an assembly language extension file, you will not see this error
message. Language extensions are not necessary and are only a
convenience for controlling the build process; only the build switches
are really needed.
The sample build switches below can be added to a tagged section in
your TOOLS.INI file. To use these build options, initialize the tagged
section by typing {arg} tag_name {reinitialize}, which is equivalent
to the following keystrokes for the sample build switches below:
Note that if you are doing mixed-language programming, you should
first set your main language and initial build options from the Build
Options dialog box under the Options menu and then initialize the
tagged section.
The MASM build switches can also be added to a custom set of build
options saved by Save Current Build Options. They may then be
initialized by choosing Build Options from the Options menu, and then
selecting Set Initial Build Options to choose the new custom language
options.
