For each project, PWB creates a project status file. PWB stores this file in the project directory and gives it the name project.STS, where project is the base name of the project.
Project status files contain the same kind of information that CURRENT.STS contains, except on a per-project basis. This scheme allows PWB to keep track of your screen layout, file history, and environment variables for each project. The project status files also contain the current project template, language and utility options, build directory, and the program's run-time arguments.
The main difference between the two status files is that the CURRENT.STS file supplies default status information—settings that PWB uses when you have not set a project. PWB uses the project's status file when you open that project.
By default, PWB saves a project's environment variables in the project status file. For more information on how PWB uses environment variables, see “Environment Variables” on page 137.
Important:
While it is harmless to delete CURRENT.STS, you should not delete project status files. They contain important information for building and updating your project. If you delete a project status file, you may need to delete the project makefile and start over.
