This is a sample disk of the DVC ›C compiler package.  The complete›package comes with a double sided›disk (64 files) and a 62 page manual.›If, after trying out this sample›disk, you decide you would like the›complete package, then send a check›for $35.00 to:››Ralph E.

››     As you use the programs on this›disk, please keep in mind that this›is a sample version.  As such, the›documentation is brief & incomplete.›There are many more capabilites than›are presented here.  The purpose of›this disk is to let you try out prog-›amming in C before you decide whether›or not to purchase a C compiler.››     On the next screen is a compar-›ison table of various C compilers›running the sieve benchmark.  Times›given are in seconds; file size is in›bytes.›

››     Here's how to compile a program›from DOS (options in brackets are›optionally included).››CC [filename(s)] [FASTC] [LINK] [RUN]››Or, from the editor:››filename [FASTC] [LINK] [RUN]›
››CC expects a C source filename with›the extension ".C" (added automat-›ically).  It creates an intermediary›file with the extension ".CCC".›FASTC will optimize the file.  LINK›links various ".CCC" and ".OBJ" files›using a file with the extension›".LNK", which contains a list of the›filenames to link together.  LINK›will create one if you don't.  The›file CIO.CCC (source is CIO.C) is›equivalent to the STDIO.H or runtime›file found in most C compilers.›
››       You can run a C program or any›program on this disk with the exten-›sion ".COM" by typing in it's name›after the DOS prompt (you don't have›to include the ".COM"). The following›files will be found on this disk:››CC.COM - compiler›LINK.COM - linker›FASTC.COM - optimizer›CEDIT.COM - C editor››CIO.CCC - runtime library›CIO.C - runtime source code››DCOPY.COM - file I/O (DUP.SYS)›DIR.COM - directory listing›TYPE.COM - lists files to screen››PMDEMO.COM - player/missile graphics›GR8PLOT.COM - high speed graphics››FCALC.C - floating point in C›FCALC.ACT - floating point in ACTION!›FCALC.ASM - floating point in›  assembly language››CUBE.* - game›LIFE.* - game›SNAKE.* - game››XEDRIVE - RAMDISK for 130XE›MOSDRIVE - RAMDISK for Mosaic boards››DVC.TXT - what you're reading!››››
