SYMPTOMS
TOOLS.PRE is a sample Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) initialization file that is installed (and modified) when C 6.0 is installed by running the Setup program. On pages 19 and 20 of &quot;Microsoft C: Installing and Using the Professional Development System,&quot; it states that the contents of TOOLS.PRE can be merged with an existing TOOLS.INI file, if one exists, or it can be renamed to TOOLS.INI, if there isn't one. To work correctly, you must make sure that the contents of this file are preceded by a PWB tag (for example, [PWB]) because the supplied TOOLS.PRE lacks this tag.



RESOLUTION
When merging the PWB 1.0 TOOLS.PRE file into an existing TOOLS.INI file, a [PWB] tag should be added just above the area where the file is merged. For example: [PWB] . .  .  (TOOLS.PRE contents) . ..

[NEXT-TAG] If TOOLS.PRE is being renamed to TOOLS.INI, the tag should be added as the first line in the file. In either case, failure to add the tag will result in PWB ignoring the initialization information.



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