- OverView 1.02 1-Mar-87
-
- The files in this archive make up the complete source code for
- OverView version 1.02. Refer to the software license in the
- OV.DOC file for restrictions on the use and distribution of this
- source code.
-
- OverView is written in a combination of Microsoft C version 4.0
- and Microsoft MASM. It is compiled as a small model program. If
- you have a different C compiler, it shouldn't be too difficult to
- convert the source code to another compiler. However, I do make
- use of the Microsoft FAR keyword in quite a few places - if your
- compiler doesn't support that keyword (or something like it) the
- conversion will be more difficult.
-
- I've included the makefile I use when building OverView, but it
- is from a homegrown make program and may not be totally
- compatable with the Microsoft (or other) make program. If you
- know enough to use make, you should be able to convert the
- makefile without trouble.
-
- In addition to the OverView source files, the source for the
- CVTHLP program is also included. CVTHLP converts an ascii text
- help file to the format required by OverView. The file OVHLP.TXT
- is the current OverView help file in a format acceptable to
- CVTHLP. You can edit the OVHLP.TXT file (the format should be
- obvious) and then create a new OV.HLP file by entering the
- command:
-
- CVTHLP OVHLP.TXT OV.HLP
-
- The file GETOPT.C requires special mention. This is a public
- domain version of a routine downloaded from the USENET network a
- couple of years ago. I believe this is the only file I did not
- write from scratch. GETOPT.C is used only by CVTHLP.C.
-
- Please feel free to write with any comments, friendly criticisms,
- problem reports, and improvement ideas you might have about the
- product. I hope that you find this program of use. Thank you.
