- ADDITIONS TO DOCUMENTATION
- Compiler/Linker Assistant 1.22
- (C) 1990,1991 by Sequential Software
-
- This text covers the changes to the program with this maintenance
- release. Other information contained in L.DOC is still valid.
-
- To install LINKER on your system for the first time follow the
- instructions for installation as outlined in L.DOC. Users of LINKER
- earlier than version 1.2 should erase the old executable and help
- files from disk, and replace them with these newer versions. If you
- are using LINKER 1.2 you may just copy the new L.EXE on top of the old
- one. The new program will automatically convert old data files from
- any of the earlier version to the new format.
-
- There is a new command line switch for LINKER. The updated
- command line looks like this:
-
- L {/Q} {/R | /C | /CO filename}
-
- /Q, /R and /C all function as documented in L.DOC. The new
- command line switch "/CO" tells LINKER to compile your source code
- only and skip the linking process.
-
- When given with a data file name, the program will compile
- modules in batch mode like the /C switch. If errors occur while
- compiling, the DOS ERRORLEVEL is set to a value of 50 and the program
- exits. After all modules are compiled LINKER will skip the link call
- and exit to DOS. If the switch is given without a data file name, the
- program will start in full screen mode. Pressing the TAB key will
- compile modules, then Linker will exit to the DOS prompt. When given
- with the /r datafile parameter, Linker will read the data file and
- start in full screen mode. Pressing TAB will compile the modules only
- and exit to DOS.
-
- There are two special key presses you may use while editing text
- on the data lines. ALT-C will clear the entire line of text and home
- the cursor on that line. ALT-R will restore the previous contents of
- the line provided you have not left the field. Once you leave a field
- the previous contents are lost. These key presses have always been
- present, but due to an oversight they had been omitted from the
- documentation.
-
- Sequential Software now has a 24 hour support BBS. The BBS number
- is (606) 561-5766. We support 1200/2400/9600 baud with the CompuCom
- Speedmodem. Here you may ask a question, tell us what you think, or get
- the latest version of our products.
