-
- This distribution contains no executable files. It is assumed that you
- have the target compiler and can compile the example programs yourself.
-
- Files in this distribution:
- readme.txt This file
- intropak.com Self extracting archive (contains example programs
- and interfaces from the units).
- tutor.com Self extracting archive (contains example programs
- and tutorial instuctions).
- header.com Self extracting archive of the teglsys.h header file.
-
- ONE (or all of)
- tclib.exe Self extracting archive for Turbo C 2.0
- Turbo C++ 1.0 and Borland C++ 2.0
- mslib.exe Self extracting archive for Quick C 2.0 (& later)
- Microsoft C 5.1 & 6.0
-
- INSTALLATION
-
- To install the intro pack just copy intropak.com, tutor.com,
- header.com and the appropriate library archive to a
- subdirectory on your harddrive then run each program.
- Running these programs extracts them to the disk. After it
- has run you will have over a 100 files taking up more than a
- megabyte of disk space. You don't have to extract them all
- into the same directory, its up to you.
-
- The tutorial files contain embedded example files that can
- be extracted using the extract.exe untiliy. There is also a
- batch file called 'exall.bat' that will extract all the
- example files from the tuturial.
-
- The files are:
-
- *.pas Example programs
- teglsys.h The header file for the library
- teglsys.lib The TEGL WINDOWS TOOLKIT II library.
- examples.txt A list of the example programs with a note on
- what aspect they illustrate.
- extract.exe Program to extract example files
- order.txt An order form.
- quick.txt A quick overview of the system.
- menus.txt The menuing system
- buttons.txt How to use Square buttons
- picklist.txt How to use picklists
- frames.txt Introduction to frames
- twquick.txt Quick introduction to the high level windows.
-
- COMPILING THE PROGRAMS:
-
- ONLY THE LARGE MEMORY MODEL IS SUPPORTED. Be sure to set this in the
- integrated environment, the batch files use the command line toggle.
- Additionally, byte alignment is used, word alignment with cause the
- programs to hang.
-
- We have provided a number of batch files for compiling the demo programs
- using the command line compiler(s). They are:
-
- tc2comp.bat - Turbo C 2.0
- tcccomp.bat - Turbo C++ 1.0
- bcccomp.bat - Borland C++ 1.0
- qc2comp.bat - Quick C 2.0 (& later)
- msccomp.bat - Microsoft C 5.1 & 6.0
-
- There are a NUMBER OF ASSUMPTIONS made in these batch files.
-
- 1. The compiler is in the path.
- 2. The teglsys.h and teglsys.lib are either in the current
- directory or in the compiler's directory.
-
- The Turbo and Borland compilers search for a file named 'turboc.cfg' in
- the directory they are started from. This file contains directives for
- locating where header files and libary files are located. We assume that
- you have set these.
-
-
- Since the Microsoft compiler and linker use environment variables to
- determine the where header files and library files are to be found you
- must edit these to reflect how you system is set up.
-
- TURBO AND BORLAND INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENTS:
-
- To compile under the integrated environment you must create a project file
- and name 'teglsys.lib' as part of it.
-
- Depending on the amount of memory available in your system you may be able
- to run some of the programs under the integrated environment. HINTS: be
- sure debugging is off, and you may want to set the maxwindowsize variable
- to a value of 16000. The protected mode compiler (bcx) usually has enough
- memory to run these programs.
-
- We have found the integrated environments tend to hang easily, don't be
- surprised.
-
- QUICK C INTEGRATED ENVIRONMENT:
-
- The 'telgsys.h' header file is greater than the capacity of the Quick
- C integrated environment. Complain to Microsoft. Only the command line
- compiler can be used.
