- CCompanion Disk
- for
- Microsoft QuickC Programming
-
-
- This disk contains all source code and include files
- presented in Microsoft QuickC Programming, published in 1988
- by Microsoft Press. We strongly recommend that you read the
- pertinent sections of the book before attempting to run the
- programs on this disk, as certain programs have special
- requirements.
-
- NOTE: If you haven't done so already, please make a
- backup copy of this disk before proceeding any further! It
- is also recommended that you put a write-protect tab on this
- disk and store it in a safe place. (If you are not sure how
- to make a backup copy, refer to the DISKCOPY or XCOPY
- commands in your DOS documentation.)
-
- For your convenience, the files on this disk are
- organized into separate directories that correspond to the
- appropriate book chapters. To access the files from within
- QuickC, choose the Open command from the File menu, then
- type the location of the files and press Enter. For example,
- if the files are on a floppy disk in drive A, you would type
- A: and press Enter. A list of directories, each
- corresponding to a book chapter, appears. Press the Tab key
- to move the highlight to the list of directories, use the
- arrow keys to highlight the directory you want, and then
- press Enter. The list of C source files in that directory
- then appears--use the arrow keys to select the file you
- want, and press Enter. The selected file is then loaded and
- displayed in the QuickC editor.
-
- Every effort was made to ensure the accuracy of the
- book and this disk. Should you encounter a problem, please

- Special Note: Certain programs, especially programs
- later in the book, require the presence of a program list (a
- MAKE file). If you encounter an "Unresolved external" error
- message when attempting to compile a program, first check
- the source file to make sure the name displayed with the
- error message wasn't merely mistyped or accidently changed.
- If the name is correct as it stands, a MAKE file is required
- to compile and run the program successfully. Complete
- instructions for creating a program list are presented in
- chapter 5. In brief, the steps for creating a MAKE file are
- as follows:
- 1. Choose Set Program List from the File menu.
- 2. A list of existing MAKE files (if any) appears
- Type the name of the source file (without
- an extension) and press Enter. A dialog box appears
- telling you that the specified MAKE file does not
- exist. Press the Spacebar to create it.
- 3. QuickC displays a list of source files. Press Tab to
- move the highlight down to the list of files,
- use the arrow key to select the name of the file
- on which you're currently working, and press Enter.
- Press Tab three times until the Save List box has
- a double border around it; then, press Enter.
- 4. Press F5 to recompile the file.
- NOTE: When you finish running that program, be sure
- to choose New from the File menu before loading
- another file.
-
-
-
- NOTE: If this file scrolled too fast for you to read, and
- you do not know how to control it, use one of the following
- methods (assuming you're at the A> prompt):
- . Type TYPE README.TXT | MORE
- (If you get a "Bad command or filename" message,
- you'll have to use one of the other methods.)
- . If you have a printer attached to your system and
- it is turned on and ready to print, type:
- TYPE README.TXT >PRN
- The contents of the file should print out on
- your printer.
- . If your word-processing software can read ASCII
- (text-only) files, load this file into your word
- processor and print it.
- 4. Pause the scrolling by holding down the Crtl
- key and pressing Num Lock. Press any key to resume
- scrolling.
-
- REMEMBER! Make a backup copy of this disk, and put the
- original disk away in a safe place!
