DOCUMENT:Q72527 30-OCT-1999 [utilities] TITLE :DOCERR: TOOLS.INI Tags for Video Not Recognized by PWB PRODUCT :Microsoft Programming Utilities PROD/VER:MS-DOS:1.0,1.1; OS/2:1.0,1.1 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kb16bitonly ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for MS-DOS, versions 1.0, 1.1 - Microsoft Programmer's Workbench for OS/2, versions 1.0, 1.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= The "Microsoft C Advanced Programming Techniques" manual that ships with Microsoft C versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0ax incorrectly states on page 159 that you can place a PWB tag in the TOOLS.INI file that will be recognized only if you have a specific graphics adapter. For example, the manual states that the tag [PWB-vga] will allow the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB) to make the assignments following this tag only if you run PWB on a machine with a VGA graphics adapter. This is documented incorrectly. The ability to test graphics adapters was not implemented with the Programmer's WorkBench versions 1.0 and 1.1. MORE INFORMATION ================ The following four tags are listed on page 159 but are not implemented by PWB: [PWB-mono] [PWB-cga] [PWB-ega] [PWB-vga] The tags above may be used but you must manually load the switches under these tags. To assign the switches under a tagged section in the TOOLS.INI file, perform the following key sequence: Arg textarg Initialize For example, to load the assignments that are listed under the tag [PWB-vga], you would press ALT+A, type "vga" (without the quotation marks) and then press SHIFT+F8. (Note: This assumes you are set up with the default key assignments.)
