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.
