I'm currently porting a largeish (>10,000 lines, several dozen modules,
several directories/libraries) from Turbo C 2.0 to Microsoft C 6.0.  Has
anyone any experience in this area?  I am having great difficulty
because MS C seems to have so many damned options and I can never
remember which is set or not.  Things will sometimes work and sometimes
not for no apparent reason.

Is there any easy way to change directory from within the PWB?  I wan to
be able to run PWB under Desqview but not always in the same directory.
If I specify a different directory when opening a file PWB doesn't seem
to be able to find make files etc.  in that directory.

My overall impressions so far are:
          a) it's FAR more complex than Turbo C to get going
          b) it's a LOT slower even using the "Quick" compiler
          c) the PWB interface was designed by someone who had never done
             the sort of exercise I'm undertaking.

If anyone has any useful tips please mail me.
