The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft C/C++ for MS-DOS, version 7.0

SUMMARY
The Microsoft Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 2.0 that comes with Microsoft C/C++ version 7.0 has several language extensions. The files are located in the \C700\BIN directory and are named:

PWBC.MXT - C

PWBMASM.XXT - Assembler

PWBFORT.XXT - FORTRAN

PWBBASIC.XXT - Basic By default, only the C extension file (PWBC.MXT) is loaded because PWB automatically loads extensions that begin with PWB, have a .MXT extension, and are located in the directory that contains PWB. To load any of the other language extensions, rename them with a .MXT extension, then restart PWB.

MORE INFORMATION
If the extension for a particular language is not loaded, that language will not appear in the Options menu in the Project Templates dialog box for Runtime Support, or under the Languages Options menu. Also, this file type will not be recognized when it is added to a Project List and saved. In these circumstances, PWB will issue the following message:

Project: file '. ' will be ignored

File type not used with current project template.

Once the proper extension has been added, the language will be added to the Runtime Support list, and the extensions for that language will be recognized by PWB.
