- RUCKUS 1.1 for DOS C compilers.
-
- Modac, CHIMPS, and the personal-edition version have been removed.
- Current Modac versions are available at the BBS. Jaleo is now being
- used as the sample app, though it was created using R2 (beta).
-
- See !HISTORY file for changes.

- BBS and e-mail address is:

- INSTALL:
- -------
- First thing to do is to move all the files in this package to a new directory
- with at least a 1.5M available. You can move them anytime after the
- installation has finished. To install, run INSTALL.BAT. INSTALL.BAT executes
- the INSTALLATION program to setup the library files. These programs extract
- and build the two LIBrary files, RUCKDAC.LIB and RUCKMIDI.LIB, ready to be
- used by any DOS C compiler (see the Borland info below).
-
- IMPORTANT: Alignment of Ruckus structures, in the header and in your
- program, MUST be byte-alignment. Many compilers default to 2 or 4-byte
- alignment unless instructed others (#pragma... or other method). Your
- program will NOT run correctly unless any Ruckus structure is properly
- aligned. Consult your compiler documentation on how to set alignment.
- Only Ruckus structures need this alignment -- you can switch back to
- whatever alignment you want EXCEPT when defining/declaring Ruckus structures.
-
-
- USING A BORLAND C COMPILER:
- ---------------------------
- If you are using any of Borland's C compilers (TC 1.0 to BC 4+) you must
- use the BORLAND LIBs in BORLAND.ZIP.
-
-
- OLDER COMPILERS:
- ---------------
- If you're using QuickC you should not use the AtExit() routines provided with
- RUCKUS. Seems _atexit is always near in all QC 2.5 memory models (a QC bug).
- This may be a local problem.
-
-
- AND STILL:
- ---------
- The XMS file transfer buffer is now 16K rather than 64K since C's malloc()
- large model cannot deal with requests of 64K (sure it can).
-
-
- Credit card order now accepted. See !ORDER.CC.
