Description Randy DeFauw 2001-10-08 20:28:54 UTC 
I'm using the last approved Q-build (9-27 I think) on WinNT 4.0.  I mounted two 
different output filesystems, then went to Tools | Options to set the compiler 
target directories.  I created two new External Compilers.  I used the drop-
down in the options panel to set the target directory for both compilers.  I 
closed the Options dialog.  Then, when I opened the Options dialog again, both 
compilers indicated that the target directory was <not set>.  

I marked this as P1 because it effectively prevents me from compiling.  If this 
is indeed a bug and not just something I'm doing wrong, I don't see how this 
could be marked as a Q-build.  Not being able to set an output directory is a 
show-stopper in my book.

I followed steps in dev#20011008 and everything worked well. Can you
verify this in the latest dev build if you can and if needed reopen
this issue, thanks in advance.
