Including the /c on your CL environment variable when compiling inside
the QuickC Version 2.00 environment can cause the following error
message:

L1093 : SOURCE.OBJ : object not found

This problem can be corrected by removing the /c from the CL
environment variable and erasing the .OBJ file which the compiler has
generated for the source program.

Oddly enough, this option will not cause a problem unless it is
followed by another valid option, i.e., cl=/c will not cause the link
failure.

The CL environment variable is used by CL.EXE and QCL.EXE for setting
default compiler options. While working inside the QuickC 2.00
environment, it is a good idea to be conscious of which environment
variables are set by CL.

Utilizing the CL environment variable usually facilitates programming
within the QuickC 2.00 environment. For example, the following line
will tell the QuickC compiler to always use the coprocessor library:

SET CL=/FPi87

This can be very useful for programming inside the QuickC environment
as well as outside of it.
