  Eric, I took your advice and I want to share with other PB'ers what I
  found.  I wrote a simple batch file which goes like this:
  D:
  cd\PB32
  PBC /Ce /LB- /LS- /DLd:\pb32\src D:\PB32\SRC\MYFILE.BAS
  ...and the compile time went from 2 minutes and 5 seconds to a pretty
  fast 2.3 seconds!!  Jeesh!! Well, I thought I was dreaming.  I pinched
  myself and -sure 'nuff-  I am NOT dreaming.  It's true, from 125
  seconds to 2.3 seconds.  I will use the IDE only if I need to debug
  or something like that.  With compile times at 2.3 seconds however,
  I cannot "stroll" down the hall and back like I used to do
  P.S. For those of you who like this idea.  The /DL is to point the
  compiler to where the PBWiz library is located.  The other switches
  are easy to understand.  Just read the stuff in the back of the book.
