- RUCKUS 1.0 for DOS C compilers.
-
- INSTALL:
- -------
- First thing to do is to move all the files in this package to a new directory
- with at least a 1.5M available. You can move them anytime after the
- installation has finished. To install, run INSTALL.BAT. INSTALL.BAT executes
- the two SHAREWARE INSTALLATION programs, one after the other. These programs
- extract and build the two LIBrary files, RUCKDAC.LIB and RUCKMIDI.LIB, ready
- to be used by any DOS C compiler (see the Borland patch below).
-
-
- USING A BORLAND C COMPILER:
- ---------------------------
- If you are using any of Borland's C compilers (TC 1.0 to BC 3.1) you must
- use the BORLAND patch. See the files in BORLAND.ZIP for more.
-
- All source files were created using PWB 2.0 and tested with MS C7. Borland
- and other compiler users may need to make some adjustments in the source
- example code to get things up and running.
-
-
- OLDER COMPILERS:
- ---------------
- If you're using an older compiler such as Turbo C 2.0 then some changes need
- to be made. In the two *.h files, remove all leading underscores. For example,
- change __far to far, __near to near, etc. In the source examples, change
- _cgets() to cgets(). That's really about all. If you're using QuickC you should
- not use the AtExit() routines provided with RUCKUS. Seems _atexit is always
- near in all QC 2.5 memory models (a QC bug).
-
-
- WHAT ELSE?
- ----------
- For a quick demo of the RUCKUS toolkit, run both CHIMPS1 (MIDI interactive
- playback sequencer) and MODAC (Mod and DAC player/recorder).
-
- Read the *.DOC files for more.
-
- VGA graphics and a mouse is recommended for CHIMPS1 and MODAC1. For
- CHIMPS1.EXE information run CHIMPS1 with nothing following. For MODAC1.EXE
- information see the MODAC.DOC file.
-
-
- AND STILL:
- ---------
- The XMS file transfer buffer is now 16K rather than 64K since C's malloc()
- large model cannot deal with requests of 64K. Probably just as well.
