Compiler 98 Not Remembering Previous Settings

Keywords: 	  compiler 98 CMP files

Question:

When I upgraded from 96 to WinBatch 98, I recompiled all my scripts and put the new DLL out on the servers. My problem is this:

With all previous versions of WinBatch, when I went to compile interactively, it would remember the last .wbt that was compiled, what kind of compile, and the destination. If I changed the source to a different file, it would bring up the settings for the last time I compiled that .wbt.

That was very useful when working with 30 or 40 different Winbatches at a time, I didn't have to keep digging down through subdirectories everytime I change the program I compile. 98 isn't holding this info - if I change source, it resets the destination to the same directory as source, NOT the last place I compiled it to. Don't know if it's a bug, or something I did. Any suggestions???

Answer:

  1. The information is saved in the CMP file with the same name as the WBT file in the same directory as the WBT file. Make sure you are not deleting those files if you want to use the previous settings. The CMP files are new. They are really just INI files. You can examine them. They retain all settings.

  2. If the WBT directories are read-only maybe the information cannot be saved.
