How to identify a diagnostic
When the compiler
runs with the correct combination of options, any
message it issues beginning with the words
Fatal, Error, or Warning
are diagnostics in the sense that ANSI
specifies. The options needed
to insure this interpretation are in the
following table. The options are
listed as hot keys you use in the IDE. For
example, the first option
corresponds to Options|Compiler|Source, and
in the Source Options
dialog box you'd choose ANSI for the Keyword
option.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Choose Options|Compiler|Code Generation and
specify Never under SS = DS.
Also don't change the default values in the
Segment Names dialog box under
Options|Compiler|Names; each text box should
contain an asterisk (*).
Other options not specifically mentioned here
can be set to whatever
you desire.
