SYMPTOMS
========

In the Programmer's Workbench (PWB) version 1.0, it has been observed that
certain unusual editing sequences can cause the following errors:

In MS-DOS:

  Run-time error R6003 - integer divide by 0

In OS/2:

  SYS1943 protection violation, trap number 13

STATUS
======

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

MORE INFORMATION
================

The following sequences reproduce the errors:

  Procedure                             Keystrokes
  ---------                             ----------

1. Bring up several files.               ALT+F O x3
  Select the Options menu.              ALT+O
  Select Linker options.                L
  Select Set Debug Options.             ALT+G
  Pull up help on the options.          F1
  Arg-refresh through several files.    ALT+A SHIFT+F7 x3
  Escape back to the Editor screen.     ESC x3

2. Select the Options menu.              ALT+O
