BUG: PWB Stores Tabstops Value Incorrectly in TOOLS.INI (93170)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS 2.0
- Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS 2.1.49
This article was previously published under Q93170 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Programmer's Workbench (PWB) versions 2.0 and 2.1.49 do not
correctly save the value of the Tabstops editor switch to the TOOLS.INI
file. PWB saves only the first tab width number; subsequent values are
lost. Switch settings are used for the duration of the current PWB session.
The dialog box that appears after choosing the Save button in the Editor
Settings dialog box indicates that only the first setting in the Tabstops
field is recognized.
RESOLUTION
Use a text editor to modify the TOOLS.INI file appropriately. The text
below illustrates an example of the tabstops entry in the [PWB] section of
the TOOLS.INI file:
In this example, PWB assigns a tabstop to columns 4 and 10, and
every subsequent fourth column.
For more information on changing settings in the TOOLS.INI file, see
section 6.6 of the Microsoft C/C++ "Environment and Tools" manual,
beginning on page 130.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB versions 2.0 and
2.1.49. We are researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
