Look for the -Za and -Ze C 6.00 options. The line 21 of os2def.h
contains the "far" keyword which is only available when -Ze is
specified. The "far" keyword was used with C 5.1 while C 6.00 provides a
new keyword "_far" for the same purpose for ANSI compatibility with a
leading underscore. The older "far" keyword is still available for
upward compatibility but only when -Ze is specified to CL. Therefore you
should look for "ANSI compatiblity" or a similar named option in the PWB
menus (I don't have the name in mind) and set it correctly.
