- Coronado Enterprises Modula-2 TUTOR March 16, 1987
-
- READ.ME File
-
- Getting Started with the Modula-2 tutorial
-
- The first thing you should do is to backup the distribution
- diskettes and store the distribution diskettes away in a safe
- place. Use only the copy for all operations.
-
-
- Getting started with the TEXT diskette
-
- Before you can begin study of Modula-2, print out a copy
- of the tutorial text. The file named PRINTEXT.BAT is designed
- to help you to do this. Simply type the name PRINTEXT at the
- DOS prompt and all of the tutorial text will be printed for you.
- When the system displays "Name of list device [PRN]:", hit the
- return key to accept the default. This batch file uses the DOS
- command PRINT.COM to actually do the printing and it has an upper
- limit of 10 files that can be queued up at once. There is there-
- fore a pause after each group of print requests to allow the
- queue to empty out, after which you must hit any key to allow
- printing to continue. If you key these commands in manually,
- you can print in the background, and be using your computer to
- do something else (provided of course that the something else
- doesn't require the printer).
-
-
- Getting started with the SOURCE diskette
-
- If you desire, you can printout all of the source files
- using the PRINTALL.BAT file included. Simply type PRINTALL at the
- command prompt with the printer on and lots of paper in place.
- It will print about 150 pages including this file and some other
- definition files. You may want to edit a copy of the PRINTALL.BAT
- file to only print part of the files initially, and print the
- remainder as you come to them in the lessons.
-
- PRINTALL.BAT uses the file LIST.EXE to actually do the print-
- ing. This program was written in M2, and included in your tutorial
- as an example program in chapter 9, and compiled for you to use in
- this step. Since printers are not standard there is a chance that
- LIST.EXE will not work on your printer. If it doesn't, use the
- file named LIST.COM from the other disk. LIST.COM was written to
- do the same job, but it was written in Pascal and compiled with
- Turbo Pascal. Since it uses a different compiler, it may work
- correctly on your printer.

- FILES ON THE SOURCE DISKETTE
-
- READ.ME - The file you are presently reading.
-
- PRINTALL.BAT - This is a batch file that can be used to print
- all of the source files on your printer. This
- uses LIST.EXE to print the files.
-
- <filename>.MOD - These are the MODULA-2 source files you will
- compile and run during the course of these
- tutorial lessons.
-
- <filename>.DEF - These are the definition files which you will
- use later in this tutorial.
-
- LIST.EXE - This is the Modula-2 printing program used to give
- you a listing of the Modula-2 source files with
- line numbers. To use it, enter the following at
- the DOS prompt;
-
- LIST GOODFORM.MOD (or whatever filename desired)
-

-
- FILES ON THE TEXT DISKETTE
-
- READ.ME - The file you are presently reading.
-
- PRINTEXT.BAT - This is a batch file that can be used to print
- all of the text files on your printer. This
- uses PRINT.COM (supplied with your copy of DOS)
- to print the files.
-
- <filename>.TXT - These are the text files that describe the
- operation of the Modula-2 source files contained
- on the other disk.
