SUMMARY
=======
The "Microsoft C Advanced Programming Techniques" manual that ships with
Microsoft C versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax incorrectly states on page 159 that
you can place a PWB tag in the TOOLS.INI file that will be recognized only if
you have a specific graphics adapter.
For example, the manual states that the tag [PWB-vga] will allow the Programmer's
WorkBench (PWB) to make the assignments following this tag only if you run PWB
on a machine with a VGA graphics adapter. This is documented incorrectly. The
ability to test graphics adapters was not implemented with the Programmer's
WorkBench versions 1.0 and 1.1.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The following four tags are listed on page 159 but are not implemented by PWB:
[PWB-mono]
[PWB-cga]
[PWB-ega]
[PWB-vga]
The tags above may be used but you must manually load the switches under these
tags. To assign the switches under a tagged section in the TOOLS.INI file,
perform the following key sequence:
Arg textarg Initialize
For example, to load the assignments that are listed under the tag [PWB-vga], you
would press ALT+A, type "vga" (without the quotation marks) and then press
SHIFT+F8. (Note: This assumes you are set up with the default key assignments.)
