- NOTES TO TCU 3.2 DELIVERY
- ============================================================================
-
-
-
- Naming Convention
- -----------------
-
- In order to provide a safer naming convention, all services now
- have the prefix 'tcu_'. For example, 'load_form' is now called
- 'tcu_load_form'. Furthermore, all upper-case constants and types
- defined in TCU.H are prefixed with 'TCU_', e.g. TCU_MENU. By
- defining the symbol '__TCUPRE32__' the old naming conventions may
- still be used though this will be discontinued at some future stage.
- All new code should use the 'tcu_' & 'TCU_' prefixes, and existing
- code should, in time, be modified to conform to the new names. The
- definition of the symbol __TCUPRE32__ may be done either in the
- integrated environment, with the command line compiler option
- -D__TCUPRE32__ or by explicitly defining it in the code as:
-
- #define __TCUPRE32__
- #include <usr\tcu.h>
-
- Note that the new services added with version 3.2 have no old
- style naming convention. 'tcu_write_formrec' may not be specified
- as 'write_formrec'.
-

-
- Installation Program
- --------------------
-
- Version 3.2 comes complete with an installation procedure to make
- installation of the system simpler. The installation does nothing
- other than to copy files and merge libraries if requested. There
- are no nasty surprises! The installation program source code is
- supplied as an additional demonstration.
-
- In order to install the system, unpack the COMPLETE distribution
- file, TCU_32.ZIP, into a temporary directory, move into this
- directory and type 'tcuinst'. After installation the complete
- directory may be deleted as any files required will have been
- copied to the final destinations. An example installation session
- is shown below:
-
- C:\> md tcu_tmp
- C:\> cd tcu_tmp
- C:\TCU_TMP> pkunzip a:tcu_32
-
- : : :
- : : :
-
- C:\TCU_TMP> tcuinst
- C:\TCU_TMP> del *.*
- Are you sure? y
-
- C:\TCU_TMP> cd ..
- C:\> rd tcu_tmp
- C:\>
-
- The system will now have been installed (provided you completed the
- procedure within TCUINST).
-
- Please be sure to read AA-READ.ME! and TCU.DOC for full information
- on changes since the last version and a reference guide to this
- version.
