I'm new to Microsoft C.  What I'd like to do is be able to compile
programs in the background while working on other stuff.
So far, I've been using the Program Work Bench to edit, compile, and link
my programs.  What I'd like to know is what is the best way to run this
under Windows.  I have gotten "Application Violates ...Memory" errors
on occation.  Can someone who has had more success tell me:

1.  Would background compilations work better (take less memory, run faster)
	if I did not compile from the Workbench.
2.  If using the Workbench is acceptable, what should I set the PIF settings
	to (i.e. how much memory is _required_ for the Workbench to 
	run the compilations so I can figure out how much I have to run
	other applications).

Thanks!
