- Installation of 32-bit utilities
-
- Unpack the util3exe.zip file using pkunzip. Each utility has its
- own .doc documentation file in flat ASCII format. These files
- are stored in the util2doc.zip file.
-
- Copy the .exe files to somewhere within your current PATH. There
- are several test programs which you probably don't care about
- (arg*.exe, ftest.exe, pmt.exe, to name a few). If you wish, you
- can ignore any program that doesn't have an associated .doc file
- with it.
-
- Building the 32-bit code from source
-
- The util3src.zip file contains the source code for the OS/2 2.X
- versions of these utilities. They have in the past been built
- with both the OS/2 2.0 and OS/2 2.1 toolkits; these versions
- were built with the 2.1 toolkit.
-
- The compiler used to build the code is the IBM C Set/2 32-bit
- compiler. The compiler was installed with the single-threaded
- statically-linked migration libraries. Other 32-bit compilers
- could probably be used with little change to the source, but the
- use of setargv.obj and the run-time message library binding will
- probably need to change.
-
- Standard C runtime calls were used as much as possible. Most
- (but not all) of the OS/2-specific stuff is found in futil.c
- module.
-
- You may need to update the makefile to point to the correct
- drive and path of your C Set/2 installation.
