Power C - Version 2.2
|
|
|
|
-- Bonus --
|
|
The Power C disk(s) contain a copy of the Power C Shell from Tay-Jee
|
|
software. This is a shareware program that provides an integerated
|
|
environment for Power C programming. When you install Power C, a
|
|
sub-directory named pcshell will be created. This contains the
|
|
Power C shell, its documentation, and a small text editor. You can
|
|
learn more about the shell by reading the .doc files that are installed
|
|
with it. If you find the Power C Shell useful, please register it.
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Power C is now supplied on one 3 1/2" or two 5 1/4" diskette(s).
|
|
Due to an increase in size, the Power C files are now stored in a
|
|
packed (ie. compressed) format. Rather than copy the files (as
|
|
described in the Getting Started section of the Power C manual), you
|
|
should now install the Power C files by simply executing the
|
|
INSTALL.EXE program on this diskette. Corrections to the Power C
|
|
manual and descriptions of new features are contained in the file:
|
|
Powerc.doc. This file will be unpacked when you install Power C.
|
|
Be sure to read powerc.doc to find out about the new features.
|
|
|
|
The INSTALL program unpacks the files to a directory on your hard
|
|
disk or to floppies. It does not alter the environment, CONFIG.SYS or
|
|
AUTOEXEC.BAT. If you are installing to 5 1/4" diskettes, you will need
|
|
4 formatted blank diskettes. If you are installing to 3 1/2" diskettes,
|
|
you will need 2 formatted blank diskettes. If you are installing to a
|
|
hard disk, you will need approximately 1 Meg (1000k) of disk space.
|
|
|
|
To run the INSTALL program, insert this diskette into one of your
|
|
floppy drives and type x:INSTALL, where x is the letter of the drive
|
|
containing this floppy diskette. If you have 5 1/4" release diskettes,
|
|
the INSTALL program will tell you when to insert release disk 2 of 2.
|
|
For example, type the following if this diskette is in drive A.
|
|
|
|
A:INSTALL
|
|
|
|
The INSTALL program will ask you a series of questions. At the end of
|
|
each question, the default answer is displayed inside square brackets (ie.
|
|
[default answer]). If the default answer is suitable, you may select it
|
|
by simply pressing the enter key. By default, it is assumed that you have
|
|
placed the master disk in drive [A], that you wish to install the files on
|
|
a hard disk [h], and that the directory to contain the files is [c:\powerc]
|
|
(note: the INSTALL program will create the directory if it does not already
|
|
exist).
|
|
|
|
If you install to 5 1/4" floppies rather than a hard drive, then the
|
|
following files will be copied to your four blank formatted diskettes.

Disk 1 of 4 contains everything you need for compiling. Disk 2 of 4
|
|
contains everything you need for linking. Disk 3 of 4 contains the
|
|
individual .H header files and sample programs. Disk 4 of 4 contains
|
|
the small and large memory model libraries.
|
|
|
|
If you install to 3 1/2" floppies rather than a hard drive, then the
|
|
files listed above under Compiler and Linker are copied to the first
|
|
blank formatted diskette (Disk 1 of 2), and the files listed under
|
|
Examples and Libraries are copied to the second blank formatted
|
|
diskette (Disk 2 of 2).
|
|
|
|
The MIXC.MIX file that is listed in the Power C manual is no longer
|
|
distributed. The following new files are not listed in the Power C
|
|
manual:
|
|
|
|
HEADERS.HHH: This file contains all of the Power C header (.H) files
|
|
in a pre-tokenized format for faster compiling. This
|
|
file may be used in place of all the .H files. In other
|
|
words, the .H files are not needed if the HEADERS.HHH
|
|
file is present.
|
|
|
|
FASTHDR.EXE: This program is used to create pre-tokenized header
|
|
files such as the HEADERS.HHH file described above.
|
|
|
|
MERGE.EXE: This program is used for library management. It merges
|
|
multiple object files, creating a single object file
|
|
library.
|
|
|
|
PCLIBS.MIX: This is the small memory model version of PCLIB.MIX.
|
|
|
|
PCLIB2S.MIX: This is the small memory model version of PCLIB2.MIX.
|
|
|
|
PCLIBL.MIX : This is the large memory model version of PCLIB.MIX.
|
|
|
|
PCLIBL2.MIX: This is the large memory model version of PCLIB2.MIX.
