This chapter expands on the work you did in Chapter 2 and explains how to build and maintain multimodule programs using PWB's integrated project-management facilities. PWB offers a new, more efficient way to manage complex projects. You organize and build your project entirely within PWB, using convenient menus and dialog boxes instead of makefiles or batch files.
PWB stores the information needed to build and manage your program in two files, the project makefile and the project status file. These are called the “project.” When you open the project, PWB automatically configures itself to build your program. To move from one project to another, you close one project and open another.
