- Thanks for taking the time to look at PC Windows. To help you limit
- the amount of work you must do to install PC Windows I have grouped
- files into 3 archive files. The most important one, PCWLIBS.ZIP,
- contain the libraries for PC Windows for Turbo C, Microsoft C, and
- Power C as well as the documentation for PC Windows. You will want to
- look at this one first.
-
-
- PCWLIBS.ZIP
-
- As stated above this archive file contains the libraries and
- documentation for PC Windows. Any file ending with the extention .DOC
- is a file containing documentation and any file ending with the
- extention of .LIB is a library file. The library files are medium
- memory model libraries and match with compilers as follows:
-
- TCPCWMM - Turbo C
- PCPCWMM - Power C
- MSPCWAM - Microsoft C version 5.00
-
- You should follow the instructions your compiler manual offers for
- installing libraries and header files.
-
-
- EXAMPLES.ZIP
-
- After you have the libraries and header files installed so the compiler
- can find them when compiling you can check out the example programs in
- the EXAMPLES.ZIP file. Many of these examples are the same ones in the
- documentation so you can easily compile a program and see how a given
- function works. I have also provided a few pre-compiled examples for
- you to try out right away. You can use the batch files provied to
- compile any of these examples (MSLINK.BAT & TCLINK.BAT).
-
-
- SOURCE.ZIP
-
- The libraries provided with the distribution diskette are medium memory
- model libraries. If you would like to use other memory models you may
- recompile the source using the memory model you want to use (NOTE:
- Turbo C's TINY memory model will not work with PC Windows). The
- SOURCE.ZIP file contains the C source files, the Assembler source
- files, make files, and a TOUCH utility program. Instructions for
- recompiling are the comments in the MAKE files - follow them closely.
- The MAKE files are as follows:
-
- TCPCW.MAK - Turbo C
- MSPCW.MAK - Microsoft C
- PCPCW.PRJ - Power C project file
-
- In addition to the make files there are matching response (.RSP) file
- used with the MAKE files.
-
- A special note: since Power C has its own built in MAKE facility I
- wrote a batch file to take advantage of it. To recompile the Power C
- library use the MAKEPCW.BAT batch file.
-
- A touch utility program has been provided if you are doing lots of
- library building. Turbo C provides a TOUCH utility which I found
- invaluable while writing PC Windows and, obviously, I can not
- distribute copywrited software - so, I wrote my own for you to use.
- The command format for TOUCH is as follows:
-
- TOUCH filespec filespec filespec....
-
- Example:
-
- TOUCH *.* *.C C:\PCPCW\*.ASM A:*.COB
-
- Source for TOUCH has also been provided in TOUCH.C
