    when compiling my cusatomized editor.wcc file, i get a file not
    found error and a comp[ile stop at this line:

    #include "editor.wch"

    The file is indeed present. I tried the compile on any server 2008
    r2 setup and I do not get the error there.

    This is on the installation that is causing me grief.

    Could the two different versions of wcc.exe be the issue??

    I have the 500.3 versions now I believe. And I always build from
    within the ide.

    Try setting the wcinclude= enviroment variable to where your
    editor.wch
    is located. also make sure you
    just have 500.3 versionas there have been changes to some of the
    .wcc
    files
