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.

A Quick library must be compiled using 80x87 or Emulator Math (/FPi),
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.
