LARC Version 3.01 Release Notes
=========================================
Overview
========
This file contains last minute notes and suggestions that did not make
it into the final version of the LARC User's Guide. These notes should
be carefully reviewed before you attempt to use LARC.
Installation Procedure
======================
To install LARC, first execute the self extracting file LRCS301.EXE.
This extracts the common program files plus three additional self
extracting files:
LARCDOS.EXE LARC programs and files for DOS
LARCOS2.EXE LARC programs and files for OS/2
EXAMPLES.EXE Example library build files
To install the DOS or OS2 specific version of LARC, simply extract
the appropriate files by executing either LARCDOS or LARCOS2. To
install both the OS/2 and DOS version of LARC on the same system,
you will need to create two full and separate installations using
unique directory names.
It is recommended that you extract the example files in a unique
directory and do not mix the example files with the LARC installation
files. While no damage will occur, placing the example files in the
LARC installation directory could make it difficult to maintain or
upgrade LARC in the future.
The default command and configuration files delivered with LARC
assume an installation directory of C:\LARC3. Assuming you install
into C:\LARC3, then LARC will be ready to run as soon as you extract
the appropriate version of LARC.
You need to print the LARC User's Guide file MANUAL.DOC and read
Chapter 2 for additional steps required to complete the
installation procedure.
Be sure to fully read and understand the LICENSE.DOC file before you
use LARC. Also, review the order form file ORDER.FRM for information
on the benefits of registering LARC.
Redistributing LARC
===================
You MAY NOT redistribute LARC for use in any product you sell or support
without the prior written consent of SouthWind Software Incorporated.
You are allowed to distribute the full LARC download program file to
friends, associates, or to a computer bulletin board system (BBS) only
if you distribute the file LRCS301.EXE in it's complete and original
form.
Using LARC with Microsoft Visual C++
====================================
It is possible to integrate LARC into the Microsoft Visual C++ 1.0 or
1.5 IDE. An example LARC.PIF file is included with this release and
will be installed into the LARC executable directory. To integrate
LARC into the MSVC 1.0 or 1.5 tool bar, you simply:
1. Start Microsoft Windows and select Microsoft Visual C++.
2. Select "Options", then "Tool...".
3. Select "Add" and enter the LARC.PIF file name in the file
dialog box that appears. For example, assuming you installed
LARC into C:\LARC3, enter "C:\LARC3\LARC.PIF".
4. Complete the tool setup by making sure that each prompt is
answered:
Command Line: C:\LARC3\LARC.PIF
Menu Text: &LARC
Arguments: C:\LARC3\LARC.CFG
Initial Directory: $PROJDIR
You may need to adjust the path names depending on the name
you provided to the LARC Installation Program. $PROJDIR is used
to set the initial directory to the current MSVC project directory.
This allows you to use LARC from within MSVC to check files from
LARC to the project directory, and to check files back into LARC
from the project directory.
5. Select OK to save the new tool entry. Select "Tool" from the
menu, then select LARC. LARC should appear as a DOS windowed
application.
Using LARC with Borland C++
===========================
LARC has not been integrated into the Borland C++ IDE. However,
it is assumed that Borland provides the ability to add custom tools
to the IDE menu. If so, then it should be possible to integrate LARC
into the Borland IDE as described above for the Microsoft IDE.
Known Software Problems
=======================
The OS/2 version does not provide support for an OS/2-specific
version of PKZIP or PKUNZIP. PKWARE is in the process of providing an
OS/2 version of PKZIP/PKUNZIP that uses the 2.04 compression software
used in the DOS version. This would make the compressed file format
compatible between both DOS and OS/2. Support for the OS/2 version of
PKZIP/PKUNZIP will be provided with that version. Meanwhile, the DOS
versions should be used.
Reporting Problems or Recommending Enhancements
===============================================
Refer to the Information section of the file LARC User's Guide for
instructions for reporting any problems you encounter with LARC.
