SYMPTOMS
If the TMP environment variable is set only to a drive (with no path specified), the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) version 1.0 or 1.1 may &quot;crash&quot; out to MS-DOS when a compile is attempted. The screen will still show PWB editor, but there will be a prompt displayed.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PWB versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem was corrected in PWB version 2.0.



MORE INFORMATION
To reproduce this problem, use the following procedure:

 Set up the environment to run PWB. Set the TMP environment variable to the current drive, without specifying a path. For example:

SET TMP=C:

 Execute PWB and create or load a simple source file. Attempt to compile the source file. (Note: If the Compile option is not available on the Make menu, make sure the file has a name with a .C extension.)
