Pacific C for MS-DOS, v7.45
Shareware version
1. Pacific C for MS-DOS
Welcome to Pacific C, HI-TECH Software's low cost, high
performance ANSI C compiler for MS-DOS. Pacific C combines
most of the features and power of the version 7 HI-TECH C
Cross Compilers into a compact, easy to use package which
will run on just about any MS-DOS based personal computer.
This is the shareware version of Pacific C; you may copy and
redistribute this software, providing it remains in the same
self-extracting .EXE file. If you use this software for any
purposes other than evaluation or non-commercial use, you
must register it. See the end of this file for registration
information.
2. Quick Start
To access the Pacific C compiler, you need only know
one command; PPD. To help you get started, many
useful Pacific C examples are available in a subdirectory
called EXAMPLES.
PPD is the integrated version of the compiler. You can
use PPD to create and modify your source files, compile
them, handle errors, and manage multiple file projects. PPD
also provides an on-line C library reference.
PACC is the command line version of the compiler. It
allows you to compile and link your source files from the
MS-DOS command line. Use PACC if you want to use your own
editor or a third party "Make" utility. Use the command
PACC -HELP to obtain a listing of the PACC options. This is
not provided with the shareware version, but is included in
the registered version.
EXAMPLES is a subdirectory within the compiler instal-
lation which contains several example programs and utili-
ties. See the READ.ME file in EXAMPLES for more details.
If you start PPD inside this directory, an extra menu entry
"Pacific C Examples" will be available in the "Help" menu.
3. MS-DOS Environment Variables
In order for Pacific C to work correctly, it is neces-
sary for the compiler BIN subdirectory to be available in
the PATH. The installer automatically modifies or creates a
suitable PATH statement in AUTOEXEC.BAT. For example, if
the compiler were installed in the directory C:\PACIFIC it
would be necessary to include C:\PACIFIC\BIN\ in the path.
For installations under MS-DOS versions prior to 3.10, the
environment variable PCC_DOS should be set to point to the
compiler installation directory. For DOS versions 3.10 and
higher, no environment variables other than PATH are neces-
sary.
The compiler will automatically use a directory speci-
fied by the TEMP environment variable for scratch files. If
TEMP is not set, the current directory will be used.
