Yoder SYNOPSIS This package contains a set of tools to generate message tables, message lookup routines, and message label header files from a single source: a message description file. For bug reports, comments, and suggestions, please reply to the author. FILES MSG AVAIL This file! MESSAGE DOC Documentation TESTMSG M Sample message description file MKMSG EXEBIN Processes a message description file FMSG EXEBIN Looks up a message in a message table MSGSRC ZIPBIN Source code SETUP Download the executable files and put them somewhere in your current PATH. If you want to look at the source code, unpack the MSGSRC ZIPBIN file into its own directory. The source modules are compiled using C/2 version 1.1 and the large model. The C/2 version 1.1 'make' program is used to build the library and executable modules. The message.txt file contains a list of the source files and a brief description of each. This helps to see how the source files are organized and what each one is for. To build the source, you will need the util.h, util.def, and util.lib files from the UTIL2 PACKAGE. Modify the UTILDIR macro in the MSG PACKAGE's makefile to point to these files. Then run make to rebuild. CHANGE HISTORY 1.3 - 93/01/04 Added optional header text filename for mkmsg. This allows the user to specify a custom text file to be placed at the head of .h and .c files that mkmsg builds. 1.2 - 92/02/04 Fixed usage text for the -r flag of mkmsg and fixed the syntax for the #define statement (when -d is specified). 1.1 - 92/02/03 Added this MSG AVAIL file to the package. Also, the mkmsg utility now supports the -d option to build a header file that contains message label #define statements (The -h option builds a header that defines message labels with an enum). The OS/2 resource compiler is not capable of processing an enum and therefore needs #define statements. 1.0 - 92/01/31 Initial release of MSG for OS/2.
