Cannot View Some Include Files Inside the PWB Online Help

ID Number: Q64687

MS-DOS

Summary:

Under DOS only, it isn't possible to access the five include files,

which are normally stored in the C600\include\sys subdirectory, from

within the PWB online help. The list of include files that cannot be

viewed is shown below:

sys\locking.h

sys\stat.h

sys\timeb.h

sys\types.h

sys\utime.h

Attempting to view these files produces a dialog box showing the

message "Cannot Open [$INCLUDE: sys\filename.h]: Not found." The

available alternatives are to either access these include files from

inside the QuickHelp (QH) online help or to bring them into an editor

for viewing. Under OS/2, these include files may be accessed from

either the QH or Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) online help without

difficulty.

More Information:

To reproduce this problem, select the Contents option from the Help

menu inside PWB. Next, select C Language, then Include (.h) Files.

This will bring of a list of all C 6.00 include files. Selecting any

of the five include files listed above produces the error message.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the PWB version 1.00.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here as

it becomes available.
