FIX: [PWB] Tag Missing in PWB 1.0 Sample Init File, TOOLS.PRE (60392)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS 1.0
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2 1.0
This article was previously published under Q60392 SYMPTOMS
TOOLS.PRE is a sample Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) initialization file
that is installed (and modified) when C 6.0 is installed by running
the Setup program. On pages 19 and 20 of "Microsoft C: Installing and
Using the Professional Development System," it states that the
contents of TOOLS.PRE can be merged with an existing TOOLS.INI file,
if one exists, or it can be renamed to TOOLS.INI, if there isn't one.
To work correctly, you must make sure that the contents of this file
are preceded by a PWB tag (for example, [PWB]) because the supplied
TOOLS.PRE lacks this tag.
RESOLUTION
When merging the PWB 1.0 TOOLS.PRE file into an existing TOOLS.INI
file, a [PWB] tag should be added just above the area where the file
is merged. For example:
[PWB]
.
.
.
(TOOLS.PRE contents)
.
.
.
[NEXT-TAG]
If TOOLS.PRE is being renamed to TOOLS.INI, the tag should be added as
the first line in the file. In either case, failure to add the tag
will result in PWB ignoring the initialization information.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB version 1.0. This
problem was corrected in PWB version 1.1.
