Hi Terry

I'm afraid there isn't.  However there was a recent thread on this list talking 
about pre-compiling source members and Denis Robitaille kindly allowed his 
pre-compiler to be posted for everyone's use.   The save file is available for 
download from Leif Guldbrand's site (www.think400.com) and will allow you to 
specify the compiler options you want to use as comments within the source 
member.

Hope it helps.

best regards
