1. Overview
============
The sample program in this directory shows how to extract the version inform-
mation from the setlocx.dll.
2. Files in this directory
===========================
File Purpose
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
version.c Source code for the version sample program.
version.def Definition file needed for compiling the program.
version.mak Make file used to compile the sample.
version.exe Compiled version of the version sample.
build.cmd A command file which will compile and link the sample program.
read.me This file.
3. How to run the sample program
=================================
The following steps show how the program can be run.
1) Run the \i18n\bin\new_vars command file (or have the environment
variables already set).
2) Set the value of either LC_ALL or LANG to: En_US (US English).
Ex: set LANG=En_US
3) Execute the version.exe program.
Ex: version
4) The output from the program should be:
Locale for monetary: ENUS437
Value is 12345.6789 Symbol-less format 12345.68
Value is -12.6789 International format USD 12.6789-
Value is 45.6789 National format $0000045.68
5) Experiment with changing the values of the LANG environment
variable. Try the Fr_FR locale to see the difference in the
results. Note: You should change the codeset of OS/2
to 850 before running this program with the french locale.
This can be done with the 'chcp' command:
Ex: chcp 850
When you are finished, change the codepage back to 437.
4. How to compile the sample program
=====================================
NOTE: The sample program is already compiled for you. If you want to see the
behavior of the program, you can just run it. The following instructions
are needed only if you want to modify the program and recompile it.
To compile the sample application:
1) Make sure that the CSET/2 compiler and OS/2 toolkit are installed
correctly on your system.
2) cd to the directory which contains the is source files.
3) Type "build" at the command prompt.
