  • Adapting MSP to Microsoft C++ ©James T. Smith, 1999 1. Introduction A. General Comments I. Purpose
    Adapting MSP to Microsoft C++ ©James T. Smith, 1999 1. Introduction a. General comments i. Purpose (1) MSP was developed in a PC environment with the original version of Borland C++, then adapted in several stages to Version 5.0, the standard for this book. Many readers, however, prefer to or must use a different compiler. The environment most frequently mentioned that is somewhat close to the book’s is Microsoft’s. This file describes my adaptation of MSP as a suite of Microsoft Visual C++ Win32 Console Applications. (2) It’s an adaptation guide, not a completed product. Most MSP features described in this book work under the adaptation, but it has not been used for further development. With it, you can see how these features work in your Microsoft environment. To use it for a major project, however, you’ll probably want to select only the appropriate MSP modules. You’ll need to test the adaptation much more thoroughly, and probably add minor cor- rections as needed by your specific application. ii. Major differences (1) Microsoft’s complex mathematics module is implemented with templates. That adds more levels of implicit conversions for the compiler to consider when resolving overloaded function declarations. Many more ambiguities would result, and some methods MSP uses to resolve them would no longer work. This would cause so many changes that you’d lose sight of the rest. So the adaptation contains a completely rewritten complex module. (2) Microsoft handles hardware faults, such as overflow detected by the floating-point processor, by throwing“structured exceptions”.

Please refer to the README.TXT file on the disk for further information. It also includes a test program EXAMP-01.EXE which may be used to confirm access to the board. Introduction Arcom Control Systems produces a complete range of high quality Input/Output (I/O) cards for the PC104 bus. In order to support these I/O cards as fully as possible a complimentary set of high quality software support products is also available. This software library forms part of the software support. This software support has been developed to support Borland C++ versions 3.1 and 4.52, running on 386 CPUs, Pentium CPUs and Arcom Target boards, in both DOS and Windows operating systems. It is presented to the user in the form of standard static library files. This library can then be incorporated into custom application code giving the user all the software facilities needed to use all the hardware features included on an Arcom PC104 I/O card. This manual contains the basic details of what is contained within this library. For a more detailed description please read the Word 2.0 file genman.doc contained in the DOCS sub-directory of the installation disk or in the DOCS sub-directory of the directory you install to. The list below shows the boards supported within the scope of this library. All commonly used modules are listed, however those that fall outside this list are not supported within this software library.

  • Appendix 1 the Borland Pascal Package
    Section 1. Installation 555 Appendix 1 The Borland Pascal Package Section 1. Installation When you open your carton of Borland Pascal, you may be frightened by the tens of kilos of books and mountain of disks. This Appendix will get you started on installation and use of the system to write your Pascal programs. Even if you have already installed Borland Pascal and are using it, you may find some useful tips here, so please thumb through these pages. (There is much useful information in the Borland Pascal User's Guide, which is in your package.) For starters, your computer should have a goodly chunk of free disk space in one hard disk partition. If you install the complete Borland Pascal system, that will take about 30M. The programs with this book will fill about 2M, and when you start writing programs, who knows? Before you start installation, decide which partition to use, and note how much free disk space is available. Don't push a partition to its absolute limit. Start the "Install" program by inserting Disk 1 into the A: drive and typing A:INSTALL <Enter> (By the time this book appears you will probably be able to acquire BP on CD­ ROM and install it that way.) The "Install" program gives you lots of options, and explains what it is doing as it runs. If you have adequate disk space, the easiest course is to install everything. If you want to install only what you need for using this book, when the "Install" program prompts you for what to install/omit, you can omit the Windows version, the Assembler, the Profiler, the Debugger, the Turbo Vision package, and the On-line compilers.

  • Migrating Borland® Database Engine Applications to Dbexpress
    ® Borland® dbExpress–a new vision Migrating Borland Past attempts to create a common API for multiple databases have all had one or more problems. Some approaches have been large, Database Engine slow, and difficult to deploy because they tried to do too much. Others have offered a least common denominator approach that denied developers access to the specialized features of some Applications to databases. Others have suffered from the complexity of writing drivers, making them either limited in functionality, slow, or buggy. dbExpress Borland® dbExpress overcomes these problems by combining a new approach to providing a common API for many databases New approach uses with the proven provide/resolve architecture from Borland for provide/resolve architecture managing the data editing and update process. This paper examines the architecture of dbExpress and the provide/resolve mechanism, by Bill Todd, President, The Database Group, Inc. demonstrates how to create a database application using the for Borland Software Coporation dbExpress components and describes the process of converting a September 2002 database application that uses the Borland® Database Engine to dbExpress.

  • Web Based C++ Compilers
    Session 2532 Web-based C++ Compiler Aleksander Malinowski, Bogdan M. Wilamowski Bradley University, Peoria, IL / University of Wyoming, Laramie, WY Abstract This paper reports the successful use of Web-based interface to C++ compilers. There are several benefits that make networked software desirable. A web-based application can be used remotely throughout any network connection. Any operating system can be used to access it, making it platform independent. There is no local installation or maintenance work necessary. Access can be controlled and limited if required by software license agreement. Internet Compilers Package (ICP) is an example of a networked software-engineering tool. Different compiler packages can be used for various stages of application development providing either maximum error detection or code optimization. Introduction During the process of software development frequently more than one compiler package is required. Some products are known to be very useful for locating errors or debugging, while others perform extremely well when a program or library is in the final stage of development and should be optimized as much as possible. Also when facing obscure error messages, which may result in a time-consuming search for the error, a different error message from the second compiler frequently cuts that time dramatically. Therefore students should be to some extend exposed to different compilers at some point in their software courses curriculum. Although all necessary software is installed in the computer laboratories, most students prefer to work on their computers at home or dormitory and connect to the university network. That situation creates unnecessary burden either for the network administrators who have to install additional software on many machines of non-standard configuration, or on students who must purchase and install on their own several software packages along their full course of study.
