- Hello All!
-
- The AREXX programs and other stuff included in this ARC are public domain,
- and you may do with them as you will. Or, you can send me a couple of
- thousand bucks and never change them at all! Your Choice! <grin>
-
- What you need to do before you can use my stuff:
-
- 1) I set up the following assigns, and you will need to assign these
- logical devices also (talking strictly Lattice C here! I have never even
- seen a Manx compiler!):
-
- Assign LC: SYS:Lattice/C
- Assign LINK: LC:
- Assign QUAD: RAM:
- Assign LIB: SYS:Lattice/Lib
- Assign INCLUDE: SYS:Lattice/IncludeFiles
-
- Assign Source: SYS:Source
- Assign Obj: Source:Obj
-
- 2) Purchase TxEd Plus, and AREXX. I highly recommend WShell also!
-
- What they are:
-
- 1) RXCOMP - After you have finished making changes to your source code,
- you can select the "Run Compile" option in the User menu. "Run Compile"
- accesses compile.txed which will auto-magically save your source, and then
- call RXCOMP with the name of your file. I did it this way so that you can
- type "RXCOMP foo" in WShell (another great program by Mr. Hawes!) and
- compile foo, or load foo into TxEd+ and compile it there. The difference
- is that between AREXX programs with extention ".rexx" and those with
- ".txed".
-
- 2) RXLINK - Basically, all RXLINK does is call BLINK using the "with"
- file "main.w". All the "Run Link" menu option does is to call link.txed
- which calls RXLINK :). I did it this way in case I get a brainstorm on how
- to set up link.txed to figure out WHICH "with" file I want to link with!
-
- 3) RXMAKE - By comparing the dates on source files and object files,
- RXMAKE figures out if you have changed a source. It will then create an
- execute file containing the lines "rxcomp foo-1" ... "rxcomp foo-y" and
- tack on the line "rxlink main" at the end. I added the option to type
- "RXMAKE ALL", which will search your Source: directory and set up to
- compile ALL the .c files present in Source:.
-
-
- Known Bugs:
-
- Basically, I only have one bug note to report, and that concerns the use of
- TxEd Plus. I have noticed that if you have more that one TxEd+ editing
- window open, and you close any one of them, the menu alterations created
- in the startup.txed file go out the window (sorry, but that pun was
- intended! :).
-
- This means that you will need to open up a command window "hit the HELP
- key!" and type "startup". This will re-configure you back to the way you
- originally began your editing session.
