MS Press "Programmer's Toolbox" Doesn't Have .OBJ for C Code (37412)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.0
- Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.0b
- Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.5
- Microsoft BASIC Compiler for MS-DOS and OS/2 6.0
- Microsoft BASIC Compiler for MS-DOS and OS/2 6.0b
- Microsoft Basic Professional Development System (PDS) for MS-DOS and MS OS/2 7.0
This article was previously published under Q37412 SUMMARY
The "Microsoft QuickBasic Programmer's Toolbox" by John Clark Craig
(Published by Microsoft Press, 1988), contains a useful library of
more than 250 subprograms, functions, and utilities for supercharging
QuickBasic programs.
The companion disk for "Microsoft QuickBasic Programmer's Toolbox"
includes the C source files CTOOLS1.C and CTOOLS2.C, but does not
include the corresponding .OBJ files. To utilize the 22 C routines in
those modules, the two files must first be compiled; the .C files must
be compiled with the large memory model, in Microsoft C Compiler
Version 5.00 or later. (QuickC compilation will work only if no
dynamic arrays are being used in the calling QuickBasic code.)
This information applies to Microsoft QuickBasic Versions 4.00, 4.00b,
and 4.50, to Microsoft Basic Compiler Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for
MS-DOS and MS OS/2, and to Microsoft Basic PDS Version 7.00 for MS-DOS
and MS OS/2.
MORE INFORMATION
The files CTOOLS1.OBJ and CTOOLS2.OBJ are not distributed on the
companion disks because using them also requires additional C run-time
libraries. These, too, would have to be included to accommodate people
without access to a C compiler.
