DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
|
||
|
||
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
|
||
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
|
||
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs
|
||
differ on details -- some request registration while others
|
||
require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With
|
||
registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue
|
||
using the software to an updated program with printed manual.
|
||
|
||
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software,
|
||
and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
|
||
exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished
|
||
programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are
|
||
of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs
|
||
and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of
|
||
distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
|
||
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
|
||
specific group. For example, some authors require written
|
||
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
|
||
Shareware.
|
||
|
||
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You
|
||
should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
|
||
whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
|
||
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
|
||
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
|
||
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
|
||
product, you don't pay for it.
|
||
|
||
DISTRIBUTION LIMITATIONS: This is a copyrighted shareware
|
||
program. You have a limited license to try out this soft-
|
||
ware on a single computer for a period of 30 days. If you
|
||
continue to use the software after this 30-day trial period,
|
||
you must become a registered user.
|
||
|
||
OMBUDSMAN
|
||
|
||
This program is produced by a member of the Association of
|
||
Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to make sure that
|
||
the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to
|
||
resolve a shareware-related problem with an ASP member by
|
||
contacting the member directly, ASP may be able to help. The
|
||
ASP Ombudsman can help you resolve a dispute or problem with
|
||
an ASP member, but does not provide technical support for
|
||
members' products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545
|
||
Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a CompuServe message
|
||
via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman, 70007,3536.

Now that the semi-legal mumbo-jumbo is out of the way, welcome
|
||
to POWER C SHELL Version 2.12. This program began as a simple
|
||
aid to Power C programmers and blossomed into a much more am-
|
||
bitious project. POWER C SHELL Version 2.12 has the following
|
||
features:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Page 4
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
- Simplifies editing, compiling, and debugging
|
||
of POWER C programs without having to fool with
|
||
the DOS command line
|
||
|
||
- Customizable editor and viewer (use your favorites),
|
||
or use the very handy TDE public domain editor in-
|
||
cluded in the package
|
||
|
||
- Customizable compile & link options for Power C
|
||
compiler (with help screens to explain them all)
|
||
|
||
- Interface includes support of Power C Trace inter-
|
||
active debugging utility, available separately from
|
||
Mix Software.
|
||
|
||
- Ability to review C.ERR error listing without
|
||
leaving the shell
|
||
|
||
- Test run your executable programs without
|
||
leaving the shell
|
||
|
||
- Easy, one-step loading of complete projects
|
||
|
||
- Customizable screen colors
|
||
|
||
- Context-sensitive help (although the program is so
|
||
simple, I doubt you'll need it)

STARTING POWER C SHELL VERSION 2.12
|
||
|
||
Power C Shell itself requires approximately 135K of free
|
||
memory to run. To this amount, however, you must add the
|
||
greater of the memory required by your editor, viewer, and
|
||
whatever C program you happen to be working on. Power C Shell
|
||
remains in memory when these programs are executing. The
|
||
Power C compiler, version 2.x, requires about 256K of free
|
||
memory. Basically, a 512K machine or better is a safe bet, al-
|
||
though you might get by with only 384K available. If you wish
|
||
to use Power C Trace with Power C Shell, you will need much more
|
||
available memory: 150k for Power C Trace, 135k for Power C
|
||
Shell, and whatever memory is required the program which you are
|
||
working on.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Environment Variables
|
||
=====================
|
||
|
||
Power C Shell can configure itself through the use of
|
||
environment variables. Power C Shell understands the following
|
||
environment variables:
|
||
|
||
PCEDIT: complete path of your editor
|
||
PCEDITP: any command line parameters used by your editor
|
||
PCVIEW: complete path of your viewer
|
||
PCVIEWP: any command line parameters used by your viewer
|
||
PCOPTIONS: default compile options to be used by PC.EXE
|
||
PCLINK: default link options to be used by PCL.EXE
|
||
|
||
Environment variables are established by use of the DOS
|
||
SET command. To set the name of your viewer to C:\LIST.COM,
|
||
simply type the following at the DOS command line:
|
||
|
||
SET PCVIEW=C:\LIST.COM
|
||
|
||
Use a similar procedure to set the other variables. To
|
||
set your default compile options to "/e/ms" (link file, use
|
||
small memory model), type the following on the DOS command
|
||
line:
|
||
|
||
SET PCOPTIONS=/e/ms
|
||
|
||
If, while entering your environment variables, you get
|
||
the message "Out of environment space" or something similar,
|
||
you need to edit your CONFIG.SYS file. Look for a state-
|
||
ment similar to the following:
|
||
|
||
SHELL=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos /p
|
||
|
||
To increase the environment space, change the statement
|
||
to something like this:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Page 6
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
SHELL=c:\dos\command.com c:\dos /p /e:384
|
||
|
||
In the example above, 384 is the new number of bytes re-
|
||
served for the environment (160 is the default). DOS will
|
||
always round this number to a multiple of 16. 384 bytes
|
||
should be enough for most users, although you may need more.
|
||
The limit is 32,768, although there should never be a need
|
||
for more than 1 or 2K. See your DOS manual for more de-
|
||
tails on setting the environment size. Note that you must
|
||
reboot your computer after editing your CONFIG.SYS file for
|
||
any changes to take effect.
|
||
|
||
The PCEDITP and PCVIEWP parameter variables assume that
|
||
your editor and viewer accept command line switches AFTER the
|
||
filename to edit/view. For example:
|
||
|
||
<PCEDIT> (filename) <PCEDITP>
|
||
edit program.c -x -e
|
||
|
||
If your editor/viewer only accept parameters and switches
|
||
BEFORE the filename, enter them as part of the PCEDIT or
|
||
PCVIEW varaibles. For example:
|
||
|
||
<PCEDIT> (filename)
|
||
edit -x -e program.c
|
||
|
||
you would enter the following command on the DOS command
|
||
line prior to starting Power C Shell:
|
||
|
||
SET PCEDIT=edit -x -e
|
||
|
||
Environment variables will override any options contained
|
||
in the PCSHELL.CFG configuration file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Running Power C Shell
|
||
=====================
|
||
|
||
The syntax for starting Power C Shell is as follows:
|
||
|
||
PCS2 [filename] [/D-] [/H]
|
||
|
||
[filename] optional parameter specifying complete
|
||
name of source file to work on
|
||
|
||
[/D-] optional parameter telling PCS to ignore its
|
||
configured starting directory and use the
|
||
current directory
|
||
|
||
[/H] display a brief help screen
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
Configuring PCS
|
||
=========== ===
|
||
|
||
Prior to using PCS, you will have to configure it. You may
|
||
do this either through the environment variables described above
|
||
or through the Configuration pull-down menu detailed below. At
|
||
a minimum, you will need to specify the name of your editor and
|
||
any compile options you would like used with the Power C.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Installing PCS
|
||
========== ===
|
||
|
||
It is recommended, but not necessary, to copy the PCS2.EXE
|
||
program file to the same directory containing your Power C com-
|
||
piler. If you would like to be able to use PCS from any direc-
|
||
tory, make sure the PCS2.EXE file is placed in a subdirectory
|
||
contained in your DOS PATH.
|
||
|
||
If you would like to use the TDE editor with PCS, place the
|
||
TDE program files in a directory accessible to PCS. If this
|
||
directory is not also on your DOS PATH, you will have to specify
|
||
the COMPLETE path for TDE when you configure PCS.

POWER C SHELL DISPLAY
|
||
|
||
Project Board
|
||
|
||
The main display is divided up into three areas. The largest
|
||
area, in the upper left portion of the screen, is the "project
|
||
board" which lists information regarding the current project
|
||
being worked on.
|
||
|
||
Space here is used to list all currently open source files
|
||
(up to seven), the name of the project make file, the name of
|
||
the executable file being linked to, the current working dir-
|
||
ectory, the name of any object library specified, and the name
|
||
of the project include file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Memory Management Display
|
||
|
||
To the right of the "project board" is the memory management
|
||
display, showing current allocations of stack, heap, and far
|
||
heap memory.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Status Board
|
||
|
||
In the bottom area of the screen is the "status board." This
|
||
area is used to display current Power C Shell settings such as
|
||
the name of the editor and viewer and their switches, and any
|
||
command line switches in effect for the Power C compiler, link-
|
||
er, and trace program.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Other Display Features
|
||
|
||
The bottom line of the display is used by the passive help
|
||
system (described below) and a copyright message. The top line
|
||
of the display contains the pull-down menu bar and a real-time
|
||
24-hour clock.

POWER C SHELL MENU OPTIONS
|
||
|
||
Files Menu
|
||
===== ====
|
||
|
||
Pressing the Alt-F key combination will activate the Files
|
||
pull-down menu, which contains the following options:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Open
|
||
|
||
Selecting this menu choice will allow you to open a file for
|
||
editing and/or compiling. Up to seven files, all belonging to
|
||
the same project, may be open at one time in PCS v2.12. After
|
||
selecting this item, you'll be asked to enter a wildcard file
|
||
specification. The default is *.C; however, you may enter any
|
||
value you like. A list of all files matching the entered wild-
|
||
card pattern will be displayed in a box centered on the screen.
|
||
Using the cursor keys, position the highlight bar over the name
|
||
of the file you would like to open and then press <Enter>.
|
||
|
||
If you open a Power C project file with a .PRJ extension, all
|
||
of the associated source files of the project will be opened.
|
||
NOTE: This project file MUST be in PCS 2.12 format for this to
|
||
work properly. If you open a project file while other files are
|
||
open, they will be closed first and then the project will be
|
||
loaded.
|
||
|
||
If more than one file is open, you will be asked to choose an
|
||
"active file." The active file is the file which is loaded by
|
||
the "Edit" menu choice described below. Enter the file number
|
||
(1-7) of the file which you would like to be active. A pair
|
||
of flashing exclamation points appears next to the name of the
|
||
active file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
New file
|
||
|
||
Selecting this menu item will allow you to type the name of a
|
||
new C source file on upon which to begin work. Do NOT enter the
|
||
name of a project (*.PRJ) file. Again, if multiple files are
|
||
open, you will be asked to select the active file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Switch
|
||
|
||
Selecting this item will allow you to change the active file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Edit
|
||
|
||
Selecting this menu item will invoke your editor and load the
|
||
currently active file for editing.

||
This option allows you to print one or more files associated
|
||
with the current project. In the dialog box that appears, press
|
||
"A" to print all source files, "I" to print the project #include
|
||
file (*.H), or the number of a single open file. Next, you'll
|
||
be asked to specify which printer port (LPT1-3) to print to.
|
||
|
||
If there is an error, PCS will inform you of the nature of the
|
||
problem and provide you with the opportunity of correcting it or
|
||
aborting the print operation.
|
||
|
||
|
||

variable. The executable file produced will have the same name
|
||
as the first open file, with the extension .EXE.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Header
|
||
|
||
Selecting this option will invoke your editor and load the
|
||
project #include (*.H) file. Using such a file is an easy way
|
||
to declare external variables by using the #include file in
|
||
supplementary project source code modules.
|
||
|
||
|
||
View C.ERR
|
||
|
||
This option will invoke your viewer and allow you to see the
|
||
contents of the most recent compile listing (contained in the
|
||
C.ERR file generated by PC.EXE).
|
||
|
||
|
||
Trace
|
||
|
||
Selecting this menu item will invoke Power C Trace, a program
|
||
available separately from Mix Software. The PCT.EXE program
|
||
must be located in a directory on the DOS PATH, or in the cur-
|
||
rent directory. You should also have compiled your program with
|
||
the /T switch, and subsequently linked it, prior to running the
|
||
trace program.
|
||
|
||
|
||
DOS Shell
|
||
|
||
This option allows you to return momentarily to the DOS com-
|
||
mand line without exiting PCS 2.12. A reminder will appear in
|
||
your prompt informing you to type "exit" to return to PCS.
|
||
While you are in the DOS Shell, keep in mind that your total
|
||
free memory is reduced by approximately 135k.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Configuration Menu
|
||
============= ====
|
||
|
||
Pressing the Alt-C key combination will activate the Con-
|
||
figuration pull-down menu, which includes the following op-
|
||
tions:
|
||
|
||
|
||
Editor
|
||
|
||
|
||
Page 12
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Selecting this option will allow you to enter the name of
|
||
your editor. In the first dialog box, enter the complete path
|
||
and file name of your editor program. In the second dialog box,
|
||
enter any command line parameters (switches) required by your
|
||
editor, if any. The editor name and switches will then appear
|
||
on the appropriate line in the status area at the bottom of the
|
||
screen.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Viewer
|
||
|
||
This option allows you to configure your viewer program.
|
||
Follow the steps above for the editor, this time typing the
|
||
path and switches for the viewer.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Compile Options
|
||
|
||
This option will allow you to select which switches are to be
|
||
used by the Power C compiler. The PC.EXE file's help screen
|
||
will be displayed and a small dialog box will appear at the bot-
|
||
tom of the screen. Enter your choice into the box.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Link Options
|
||
|
||
This menu choice will allow you to specify link options. A
|
||
small help screen explaining the available switches will be
|
||
presented. Enter your switch(es) in the dialog box.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Memory Allocations
|
||
|
||
With this option you can control the size of the stack, heap,
|
||
and far heap of your program. Enter values for each of these
|
||
items in the dialog box just as you would enter them on the com-
|
||
mand line. For example, if you want 16k of memory for the stack
|
||
enter "16k"; if you want 800 bytes allocated for the heap, enter
|
||
"800."
|
||
|
||
|
||
Object Library
|
||
|
||
Select this option to enter the name of an object file to be
|
||
linked as a library. This can be a library of your own creation
|
||
or a third-party library. Make use of the "?" wildcard to spec-
|
||
ify different library names for the three memory models. For
|
||
example, PCS is linked with the library CJSLIBM.MIX, a library
|
||
of functions developed by Tay-Jee Software. By entering the
|
||
name "CJSLIB?.MIX" as an object library, the files CJSLIBS.MIX,
|
||
CJSLIBM.MIX, or CJSLIBL.MIX will be linked depending upon which
|
||
memory model is in effect. (See the Power C README file for a
|
||
further discussion of libraries and wildcards.)

Trace Options
|
||
|
||
This option allows you to specify command line arguments for
|
||
Power C Trace. A brief desctiption of the available switches is
|
||
shown in the dialog box; simply type the switch(es) you wish to
|
||
have included on the command line when you use Power C Trace.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Program Colors
|
||
|
||
Selecting this option activates the program color selection
|
||
process. Nine screen elements can have their screen attributes
|
||
individually configured. Enter the number of the screen color
|
||
you wish to modify, then position the flashing star character
|
||
over the appropriate color combination, then press <Enter>.
|
||
Once you are through selecting colors, enter "0" instead of a
|
||
color number. In the dialog box which appears, type N to put
|
||
your newly selected colors into effect, O to ignore the new
|
||
colors and use the colors in currently in effect, or D to
|
||
revert to the program's default color scheme. In the unreg-
|
||
istered version, while you can change the colors selected, you
|
||
cannot save these changes in the configuration file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Quit
|
||
====
|
||
|
||
Select this option to leave Power C Shell and return to
|
||
DOS. Three options are available: "Yes" exits PCS immediately;
|
||
"Save" updates the PCSHELL.CFG file with the current settings,
|
||
then returns to DOS; and "No" returns you to PCS.

HELP
|
||
|
||
Context-sensitive help is available from within the PCS
|
||
menu system (only). From the main PCS screen, or from within
|
||
any pull-down menu, pressing <F1> activates the help system.
|
||
A box will appear on the middle of the screen containing the
|
||
help information for the currently selected menu operation.
|
||
Use the cursor movement keys to scroll the help text up and
|
||
down through the box. Pressing <Esc> returns you to PCS.
|
||
|
||
A passive help system also exists for all menu items. Look
|
||
at the bottom line on the screen for a brief description of the
|
||
currently highlighted menu item.
|
||
|
||
A short help line appears for most dialog boxes in PCS. Most
|
||
"basic" editing functions, such as Insert/Delete and Backspace
|
||
work normally in dialog boxes. In addition, the <Tab> key can
|
||
be used to DELETE all information in a dialog box which lies to
|
||
the right of the cursor.
