Programming Overview
This chapter gives you a general overview of the programming process.
After reading this chapter you should be able to:
identify the purpose of every file on your distribution disk
install the software on your hard disk (if you have one)
recognize the special features of source code for a program that
interfaces with the scanner
select names for your variables that won’t conflict with the names in the
programs we supply
select the necessary options to compile and link a scanner interface
program.
The host software is shipped on a single 720K (3.5”) diskette, for use with
Borland and Microsoft compilers. The disk contains an include file
required with all your programs; run–time libraries in the small, compact,
medium, large, and huge memory models; and source and executable code
for the diagnostic program described in chapter 10, User Diagnostic
Program.
The host software package also includes two 360K 5.25-inch diskettes, one
for use with Borland compilers and the other for use with Microsoft
compilers. The combined contents of these two diskettes is identical to the
contents of the 720K diskette.
Table 4.A lists the contents of the host software package.
