recio, Version 2.02, Release May 5, 1994.
Copyright (C) 1994, William Pierpoint.
Description
-----------
The recio library consists of a set of more than 75 functions that make
it easy to read and write text files in which each line is treated as a
data record, and each record is subdivided into fields. Fields may be
either character delimited or column delimited. The learning curve is
rapidly traversed because (1) functions are based on analogous counterparts
in stdio and (2) function names are based on consistent mnemonics.
Getting Started
---------------
First check the MANIFEST file for brief one line descriptions of the files
in this release.
Learning the recio functions will be easier if you read the documentation
in the following order:
TUTOR.TXT - Introductory material including some simple example programs.
USAGE.TXT - Shows the typical order in which functions are used.
SPEC.TXT - Specification of all functions and macros. Use as reference.
TIPS.TXT - Tips and ideas on using the recio functions.
DESIGN.TXT - Design and development notes.
To save disk space, this package contains the executable for only one of
the test programs. Source for other test programs is included. To make
all the test programs, see MKTEST.BAT. This package also contains the
libraries for only the small and large memory models. To make libraries
for all memory models, see MKLIBS.BAT.
All you need to do to use the recio functions in your application is to
#include "recio.h"
in your source code and link using the recio library for the memory model
you are using. For example, if using the small memory model, link with
RECIOS.LIB. If you use a compiler other than Borland C 3.1, you will need
to recompile the source code.
Source Code
-----------
Complete C source code for recio is provided. To recompile, you will need
an ANSI-C compatible compiler. This release used Borland C 3.1. MKLIBS.BAT
will generate all the libraries for this compiler. Modify the MAKEFILE to
reflect your setup and to set the memory model. To use another compiler,
you will need to generate libraries or object code for that compiler.
