Environment Space

Environment Space

If COMMAND.COM runs out of environment space when you issue a SET command, add the following line to your CONFIG.SYS file:

SHELL=C:\COMMAND.COM /E:1000 /P

If COMMAND.COM resides on a different drive or directory, modify the line accordingly.

Visual C++ Floating-Point Options

For Microsoft Visual C++ distributions, all the distributed libraries created in the current version of Prolifics are compiled with the /FPc switch, so that you can choose at link time which floating-point library to use. You can use either the math coprocessor library (LLIBC7.LIB), the emulator library (LLIBCE.LIB, the default), or the alternate math library (LLIBCA.LIB).

Using Prolifics Utilities

Because of various limitations of Windows, it can be challenging to use Prolifics’s utilities when launched from the Program Manager or the Start menu. The problem arises because Windows’s notion of the current directory is hidden from the user.

By default, all Prolifics’s utilities are designed to be run from the DOS command line, with the following exceptions: binherit.exe, f2asc.exe. clnt2svr.exe, and isqlw.exe (refer to the Note below). In the DOS environ- ment, there is a current directory, and when the utilities run they operate on files in that directory by default. Under Windows, however, the current directory is usually set to the directory holding the executable, for example, c:\prolific\util.

Therefore, if you launch a utility, such as f2asc, from the Program Manager or the Start menu and type –a foo.asc foo.pro in the Parameters window, f2asc looks for foo.pro in the util directory and creates its output foo.asc there as well. Since this is usually not what you want, consider one of the following approaches:

`Enter full paths in the parameters window, for example,

–a d:\myproj\foo.asc d:\myproj\foo.pro.

`Edit the .PIF files to set the directory elsewhere than the util directory.
