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: 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.
