- products.
- Installation
-
-
- STEP 1.......BUILD BASE DIRECTORY
-
- The Shareware Version of the TCXL User Interface Development System is
- normally distributed on diskette or in a compressed archive.
-
- If you received a compressed archive, either from a BBS or from a Disk
- Vendor, follow the instructions provided to extract these files into a
- "\TCXL55" directory. Then skip to Step 2.
-
- If you received a diskette either directly from IDC or from another source,
- put the diskette in your drive, change to the root directory of the drive
- you wish to install TCXL on, and give the command:
-
- A:COPYTCXL A
-
- or
-
- B:COPYTCXL B
-
-
- depending, of course, on which drive you install from. COPYTCXL will
- create a directory called "\TCXL55", and will copy a series of self-
- extracting archive files into the directory.
-
- In your TCXL55 directory, there will be a file called FILES.CXL. Verify
- that all the files described in FILES.CXL are actually present. If not,
- contact whoever supplied you with your copy of TCXL.
-
- Please note that Innovative Data Concepts normally only provides the small
- model libraries for shareware distribution. If you need the large model
- libraries to fully evaluate the product, contact either IDC or one of our
- foreign distributors. If you receive this diskette from IDC, the charge
- will be $5.00 within the US, $7.00 in Canada and Mexico, and $10.00 to
- other locations. Our distributors may have other pricing policies --
- contact them for more information.
-
- STEP 2.......RUN START.BAT
-
- Once the files are in your TCXL55 directory, you are now able to actually
- install the product. Run the START.BAT file that is now in your TCXL55
- directory. This will extract the header files and libraries, and give you
- the option to extract the documentation. All necessary subdirectories will
- automatically be created.
-
- The libraries are are in different directories depending upon which
- compiler you are using. They are listed below with the letter 'x' inserted
- to indicate where the memory model should be ('s','m','c', and 'l' for
- small, medium, compact and large respectively).
-
-
- Compiler Library
- ------------------------------------
- MSC 6 TCXL\M6\TCXLMS6x.LIB
- QC 2.5 same as above
-
- MSC 5.1 TCXL\M5\TCXLMS5x.LIB
- QC before 2.5 same as above
-
- TC 2 / TC++ TCXL\TC\TCXLTCx.LIB
-
- Zortech C++ TCXL\ZTC\TCXLZTx.LIB
-
- The 'x' above represents one of the letters s, m, c or l.
-
-
- STEP 3.......COMPILE/LINK DEMO
-
- At the completion of START.BAT, you will be given a pair of environment
- variables to create: TCXL_A and TCXL_C. Follow the directions, and add
- these two variables using the DOS SET command.
-
- Next, change to the \TCXL55\DEMO directory. Depending on the source of
- your copy of TCXL, a compiled demonstration program may or may not be
- provided. To create a demo program, execute the MAKEDEMO.BAT file. This
- will compile/link the TCXL Demonstration Program using the default options.
