Is there a way, without editing SC.INI, to have the compiler look first at the environment variables (specifically INCLUDE), and then look at SC.INI?

No. The reason it is the way it is is because one can have DMC reside on a system peacefully with some other compiler that demanded exclusive use of the environment.

The way to do what you ask is to edit sc.ini.

Sure I get the point, and most of the time I appreciate it. However, at the
moment I'm wanting to do some testing of DMC++ with and without STLPort, and
I was wanting a quick and easy solution. The alternative, of course, is
specify ...\dm\stlport in the include list, but it'd be much easier with
a -e (a la MAKE).

Here come the baby geese to nibble on you... =:)

Would it be possible to have the compiler look for an SC.INI in the current directory, using it in preference to the one in the .\dm\bin directory?

Or yet another command-line switch naming a file to override SC.INI?

Very good idea. I second that.
