- 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.
