INSTRUCTIONS To compile a graphic program with a *.MAK file, do the following steps: Let's take for example apollo.mak project. This project uses the files: apollo.mak, apollo.cpp, gr2d.cpp and gr2d.h. 1. Under Internet Explorer or Netscape, save following files as apollo_mak.txt, apollo_cpp.txt, gr2d_cpp.txt and gr2d_h.txt with option "Text file (*.txt)" in a C++ working directory. 2. Under Windows, rename the previous files as apollo.mak, apollo.cpp, gr2d.cpp and gr2d.h with any text editor, such as Notepad. 3. Under Microsoft DevStudio, in previous working directory, open workspace with option (*.mak) and choose apollo.mak in the list. A message window will ask you if you want to convert this older project in your version of Visual C++, say yes. 4. if conversion succeeds, import file gr2d.cpp in your project (option add files to project or insert/project/New files). 5. Compile and run program. To compile a *.cpp program with no graphic (and no extra files): Let's take for example bessel.cpp program. This program uses only system files stdio.h and math.h. 1. Under Internet Explorer or Netscape, save bessel_cpp.txt file as (same name) with option "Text file (*.txt)" in a C++ working directory. 2. Under Windows, rename file as bessel.cpp with any text editor, such as Notepad. 3. Under Microsoft DevStudio, in previous working directory, open file bessel.cpp. 4. Compile (say yes to the message window) and run. A workspace has been automatically created. NOTE: if extra files are asked for (such as vmblock.cpp for dynamic allocations), follow steps 1 and 2 for those files and import them in the project. Jean-Pierre Moreau
