SUMMARY
=======

The /DP switch for the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB), documented on Page 49 of
the Microsoft C version 6.0 "Microsoft C Reference," is not implemented in
version 1.0 of PWB. This switch is designed to ignore the most recent program
list upon starting PWB.

The /DP switch is mentioned only in the "Microsoft C Reference" and not in the
online help.

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

Upon invocation, the Programmer's WorkBench version 1.0 does not automatically
set the program list to the last program list used. Therefore, the /DP
command-line switch was not implemented because it would have no purpose.

With the PWB version 1.0, there is no way to have the last program list set
automatically at startup. This functionality was added with PWB version 1.1.
