E.2 Confiqurinq ^Screen ^Output

If

^you ^are using Tnstant-c ^{on an IBM} ^PC or ^PC/XT or

compatible, you don't ^need to configure ^the screen output and should skip this section.

Since Instant-C ^uses

full

^screen operations,

it

^is

necessary to

tell

^Instant-C ^how ^to ^draw and perform

various functions on the screen. You can do this ^by

running the ^program ^we ^have provided, ^SCREEN. ^SCREEN is an interactive application ^which builds or modifies ^a configuration

file

^containing

screen-driving character ^sequences. ^The configuration

file

(ICEDSCRN.CFG) is ^then ^read ^by

Instant-C to ^customize the ^screen editor to your terminal.

Note: ^a configuration

file

is provided for ^IBM ^PC or ^compatible ^machines.

If

^you ^have ^one ^of ^these

machines, you

will

^not ^need ^to ^specify ^any ^screen

operations. ^SCREEN

will let

^you override the default

screen attribute selections, ^however, ^should you want

to ^do ^SQ.

To run the ^screen configuration program, simply type:

A>sc: reen

The program prompts with ^a menu of choices ^and

screen function. ^{The normal} ^way to ^run ^SCREEN is to

type the ^number of the ^screen ^drawing functions, ^and

answer the ^prompts. ^You

will

^need ^the ^manual ^for

your terminal to enter ^the ^proper ^sequence of characters. ^The 'T' tests only test ^what ^has ^been entered, ^so your strategy ^should ^be to get cursor

addressing right, ^then clear ^screen ^and

(if

^your

terminal ^has

it)

^{clear to} ^end ^{of line.} ^Then ^use ^'T'

after ^each ^change to verify your progress.

The 'B' for ^numeric ^base is for entering characters

by their value, rather ^than the actual keystroke.

(Some manuals use decimal, some octal, ^and ^some

hexadecimal.)

If

^any ^of ^your ^sequences ^use ^a

carriage return, you

will

^need ^to ^enter ^a ^numeric

value for the ^CR, ^since ^SCREEN ^uses return ^as the delimiter to indicate the ^end of ^a ^sequence. ^BE ^SURE to ^use the 'T' ^conunand to test ^your configuration before writing

it

^to ^disk. ^You ^can ^get ^some

spectacular, but undesirable, effects

if

^your ^screen

configuration is wrong.

After running ^SCREEN to create your configuration

file,

^you ^can configure the ^keyboard ^(see following section). After preparing the configuration

files,

you

will

^need to build or ^modify Instant-C ^and ^ED for

the changes to ^take effect.

INSTALLATION

E.3 Confíqurinq the ^Keyboard

You can reconfigure ^the ^key function interpretation of Instant-c's editor. ^This ^key reconfiguration is

designed to ^adapt Instant-C to different ^computer

keyboards and terminals. ^You can also ^use the ^key reconfiguration feature to ^{make the} Instant-c editor

more like some other editor with ^which you are more

comfortable. ^You ^can reconfigure the ^keys on an IBM pcF for detailsor PC/XT computer^about

all if

^you^{of the}^so ^desire.^key ^functions.^See ^Appendix

Note: you do not ^need to reconfigure the ^keyboard at

all

^to ^use ^the ^Instant-c ^editor. ^This ^feature ^is

provided solely to ^make the ^keyboard interface as

useful ^as possible for ^you.

To reconfigure the ^keyboard, ^you ^should ^run the

KEYBOARD program provided on your Instant-c ^master

disk. ^The ^KEYBOARD ^program interacts with you and

creates or modifies ^a

file

containing the ^keyboard

assignments. The keyboard assignment

file

^is ^then

read by Instant-C to control ^which ^keys ^are ^bound to

which editor functions.

If

^you ^are ^not ^using ^an ^IBM ^PC ^or compatible, you

must run ^SCREEN, the screen configuration program,

before ^running the ^keyboard configuration.

To run the keyboard configuration program, simply type:

A>keyboard

The program prompts with ^a menu of ^choices. ^You

can type 'H' and get ^the ^{menu back} ^again. ^{The most} frequently ^used ^command is 'B' for defining ^key to function bindings. ^Key bindings can be overriden just ^by redefining ^them. You can ^map several ^keys to

the same function

if

^you ^wish. ^Use ^the ^'D' ^(for

delete) ^command to eliminate ^a ^key binding completely.

INSTALLATION

with ^Bind, you essentially ^teach the ^program ^what

keys or ^sequence of ^keys are to ^perform ^what editor function. ^When defining, the ^keys or ^sequences of

keys can be entered just as you would type them when running the editor, followed by a return. ^Note: ^some

ASCII terminals ^have function ^keys ^which ^send several characters at ^a time ^and include ^a carriage return.

If

this is true for your terminal, ^use the 'S' option to set the delimiter to some other character

('l'

^is

a good choice).

After running ^KEYBOARD to create ^your configuration

file,

^you

will

^need to build or ^modify Tnstant-C ^and

ED. The new configuration ^takes effect ^when:

- ^You ^run ^an unconfigured editor ^(as in ^ICBASE).

In this ^case, configuration

files

^must ^be

present in the directory for ^the editor to

work.

- ^For Instant-C, you issue a #edconfigure

command. See sections on building ^and modifying Instant-c, ^below, for instructions on how to

make the configuration a perinanent part of your

Instant—C.

- ^For ^ED, ^you ^go through the editor configuration

process ("ed (d"). See "Configuring ^a ^New ^ED",

below.

E.4 Building ^a ^New Instant-C

Tnstant-C is delivered to ^you in ^both of ^two ^forms:

l.

^A pre-configured ^forní with the ^standard

library built

^{into the} ^workspace ^and ^with ^the ^editor

configured (IC).

2. ^A "raw" form, with no configurations ^performed

(ICBASE). All ^components ^needed to ^reproduce the pre-configured are also provided.

INSTALLATION

Major changes to the ^standard library (particularly replacing,reducing, or eliminating

it)

^are ^best

accomplished by rebuilding Instant-C ^from scratch.

Minor changes, such as changed editor configurations, modified or ^added library functions, or ^changes to default settings of options are best handled by

"cloning" an Instant-C (described in "Modifying ^Your Instant-c", ^below).

To build ^a new Instant-C ^from scratch, ^you ^need to

have the following

files:

ICBASE .EXE for ^PC-DOS ^(and ^MS-DOS) or ^.CMD for

CP/M-86. The raw Instant-C ^programs.

LSl.C The_(Processedsource for ^the library

files.
