How to install the C Library
============================

There are no strict rules on where to install the various components of the
C Library, but you will have to tell the Borland C  Integrated  Development
Environment  (IDE)  and  the  stand-alone compiler where to find the object
library and the include  files  (headers).  The  accompanying  manuals  and
on-line help texts will inform you how to do that.

The  executable  programs and batch files provided in this package are best
installed in a directory which is in your DOS Path.

You may have to change some .BAT files included in this package,  in  order
to reflect the directory paths you chose to install the various components.

The  easiest  way  to  install  the package is by using the directory paths
described below, on your hard disk (probably C:). If you do  it  that  way,
you  will  not  have to alter any .BAT file (but you still have to tell the
Borland IDE and the stand-alone compiler where to find the  objext  library
and the include files).

\TCFLIB                 Object libraries
\TCFLIB\INCLUDE         Include files (headers)
\TCFLIB\HLP             Help files
any DOS path directory  Tools and batch files

When  you  want  to change or augment the library, you can copy the library
and test program sources to the \TCFLIB directory and do  your  development
right there on the spot (after having made a safe backup of that directory,
I  hope),  or  you  can use a separate directory, which is probably a wiser
strategy. In the last case, create a \HLP subdirectory there so you can use
the development batch files without change.
