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.)
