Autoload

Type

Boolean

The Autoload switch determines if PWB automatically loads its extensions on startup.

When the Autoload switch is yes, PWB automatically loads extensions whose names begin with "PWB" and are found in the same directory as PWB.EXE. PWB always loads extensions named in a Load switch.

If you disable automatic extension loading, you can load extensions as you need them by assigning a value to the Load switch as follows: Arg load: pwbextension Assign (ALT+A load:pwbextension ALT+=).

The pwbextension is the path of the extension's executable file. PWB automatically assumes the filename extension .MXT. You can specify an environment-variable path by using an environment-variable specifier.

Syntax

Autoload:{ yes|no }

yes

Automatically load PWB extensions on startup.

no

Do not automatically load PWB extensions on startup. Load only those extensions named in Load switches in TOOLS.INI.

Default

Autoload:yes

Update

PWB 1.x extensions are not compatible with PWB 2.0. They are refused when you request that they be loaded. Old extensions must be recompiled with the new extension-support libraries and header files. In some cases, old extensions must also be modified for use with PWB 2.00.

Updated Microsoft PWB 1.x extensions not included with this product are avail-able by contacting Microsoft Product Support Services in the United States or your local Microsoft subsidiary.
