DBWRENDR for OS/2
This file describes the OS/2 Bound version of DBW-RENDER. The RAY.EXE
program will run under both MS-DOS and OS/2.
The only differences between this and the original DBWRENDER 1.02 for
the IBM-PC distribution I received is that I modified the RAY.H file.
I added a "#DEFINE OS2 1" at the beginning of the file, and I added an
#IFDEF OS2 which changes the version message to say version "1.02 (OS2
Bound)". I also added my name to the version message as the person who
did the OS/2 "conversion".
I actually didn't change any of the C code, so saying I'm responsible
for "converting" this is really not true. All I had to do was
re-compile it under OS/2, and run the BIND program. Thus this is a
straight port from the MS-DOS version. There are obviously many places
where multithreading and other OS/2 features may be applicable to
DBWRENDR. I'll leave that to others.
In addition to modifying the RAY.H file, I also created the following
files:
MAKERAY.OS2 - Make file for Microsoft C 5.1 compiler under OS/2
00readme.OS2 - this file.
In the MAKERAY.OS2 program, I assume the BIND program can find the DOSCALLS
library in C:\OS2\DOSCALLS.LIB. If this is not correct on your computer you
may have to change this line or run BIND manually.
I only converted the RAY program. This creates the .TMP files, but does not
actually display anything. You still have to use the MS-DOS Display program,
or a program that converts DBW .TMP output to .GIF or some other format.
What we really need is a program that converts .TMP files to Presentation
Manager .BMP files, or a Presentation Manager application to display .TMP
files directly. Again, I'll leave this for others to do.
