This article discusses how to a compile that is in progress when using the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB).

Under MS-DOS (or the OS/2 3.x compatibility box), use CTRL+C to abort.

Under OS/2, use "Arg Meta Compile" to abort a compilation taking place in the background.

The default keystrokes for Arg Meta Compile are ALT+A F9 CTRL+F3.

You can also create a macro and assign it to a key to abort the compile process. Below is a sample macro that you could place in your TOOLS.INI file under the [pwb] tag.

   [pwb]
   Abort:=Arg Meta Compile
   Abort:Ctrl+F5

NOTE: In either OS/2 or MS-DOS, the ESC key will not abort a compilation.
