Thanks for taking the time to look at PC Windows. To help you limit
the amount of work you must do to install PC Windows I have grouped
files into 3 archive files. The most important one, PCWLIBS.ZIP,
contain the libraries for PC Windows for Turbo C, Microsoft C, and
Power C as well as the documentation for PC Windows. You will want to
look at this one first.
PCWLIBS.ZIP
As stated above this archive file contains the libraries and
documentation for PC Windows. Any file ending with the extention .DOC
is a file containing documentation and any file ending with the
extention of .LIB is a library file. The library files are medium
memory model libraries and match with compilers as follows:
TCPCWMM - Turbo C
PCPCWMM - Power C
MSPCWAM - Microsoft C version 5.00
You should follow the instructions your compiler manual offers for
installing libraries and header files.
EXAMPLES.ZIP
After you have the libraries and header files installed so the compiler
can find them when compiling you can check out the example programs in
the EXAMPLES.ZIP file. Many of these examples are the same ones in the
documentation so you can easily compile a program and see how a given
function works. I have also provided a few pre-compiled examples for
you to try out right away. You can use the batch files provied to
compile any of these examples (MSLINK.BAT & TCLINK.BAT).
SOURCE.ZIP
The libraries provided with the distribution diskette are medium memory
model libraries. If you would like to use other memory models you may
recompile the source using the memory model you want to use (NOTE:
Turbo C's TINY memory model will not work with PC Windows). The
SOURCE.ZIP file contains the C source files, the Assembler source
files, make files, and a TOUCH utility program. Instructions for
recompiling are the comments in the MAKE files - follow them closely.
The MAKE files are as follows:
TCPCW.MAK - Turbo C
MSPCW.MAK - Microsoft C
PCPCW.PRJ - Power C project file
In addition to the make files there are matching response (.RSP) file
used with the MAKE files.
A special note: since Power C has its own built in MAKE facility I
wrote a batch file to take advantage of it. To recompile the Power C
library use the MAKEPCW.BAT batch file.
A touch utility program has been provided if you are doing lots of
library building. Turbo C provides a TOUCH utility which I found
invaluable while writing PC Windows and, obviously, I can not
distribute copywrited software - so, I wrote my own for you to use.
The command format for TOUCH is as follows:
TOUCH filespec filespec filespec....
Example:
TOUCH *.* *.C C:\PCPCW\*.ASM A:*.COB
Source for TOUCH has also been provided in TOUCH.C
