First steps in a DOS environment
In this case you need first of all a Microsoft C-compiler.
The first step is to look at the files that you find in your directory,
and carefully to read the following two items that describe how you get
started:
- The first step is to check if there is already a file
test.c.
In the
case when you find such a file, then you continue with the next item. If
there is no such file, then please copy one of the example files,
say ex1.c in to a file with the name test.c. This is done by entering the
line
copy ex1.c test.c
- Now you enter the line
make make.dos
and wait until the prompt returns. This will need some time while your
machine is busy in translating the .c-files into executable ones.
Supposing that your C-compiler was installed in a correct way then you
can now proceed with the steps that are described on the following pages
except that wherever in a UNIX environment you use the command a.out
you have to enter test in your DOS environment. And, of course, you have to
use make make.dos instead of make.
A problem may arise from the fact that SYMMETRICA is quite a big program system,
and so, in a DOS environment, you better use a subset of the available routines
only, for example only such routines that are necessary for character
calculations or for matrix representations.
