Summary:
SYMPTOMS
If an option is added to the TOOLS.INI file under the PWB tag to
read either "Edit:yes" or "Edit:no", PWB returns the following
error message:
Edit is not an editor switch.
CAUSE
The edit switch for the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB), documented on
page 79 of the Microsoft C version 6.0 "Microsoft C Reference"
manual, is not implemented in PWB versions 1.0 and 1.1. The
documentation is incorrect.
RESOLUTION
To open a file as read only, invoke PWB with the /r option.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the PWB
documentation for C version 6.0. We will post new information here
as it becomes available.
