p2c version 1.20 Very Lazy Conversion by Minoru Toda --------------- README

Well, I finally found some free (available) time to do some lazy porting.
If you guys look at the code, you'll see that I did all kinds of lazy
cheating, but as far as I know, it works.

Here's few notes for the pascal lovers:

1. How to make/install
	Using my privilage as a lazy porter, I decided to have the files stored
	under "/boot/local/p2c/<stuff>". The makefile included in this tar file
	will make all required files and stores them in the directories
	specified in the Makefile. (you need CodeWarrior to compile, since the
	binary is over 64k limit).
	
	To make things easier, you can just copy the contents of the 
	"p2c-install" directory to /boot/local/p2c (or drag it to /boot/local
	and rename the directory to "p2c").

	
2. How can I convert and compile pascal programs ?
	Start the p2c program the way you usually start it (below insturction
	assumes that p2c directory is in path).	
	
		1) p2c HelloWorld.pas
	This will read a pascal file called HelloWorld.pas, and should create
	a file called HelloWorld.c (header files may be also created).
	
	Now compile the C program by :
		2) mwcc -c HelloWorld.c
	This will create the object files required by the linker.
	
		3) mwld -o HelloWorld HelloWorld.o libp2c.a
	And finally, use the linker with the compiled object file and the
	lib file (located in /boot/local/p2c/lib) to finish linking the program.
	
	Now the program should be ready to be executed.

	
3) What are those files suffixed by .original ?
	Since I have done some very lazy conversion, I thought that keeping
	original files (unmodified) might help the user configure their copy
	of p2c. For complete (original) distribution, try the following URL:
	
 ftp://hpux.ee.ualberta.ca/hpux/Languages/p2c-1.20/p2c-1.20-ss-8.07.tar.gz
		
		
4) Why are the directories so messed up ?
	Well, this is what a very lazy conversion (vlc for short). I will try
	to organize them in the future.

	
5) What are you going to do next ?
	Well, mostly clean-ups, and I may decide to write some pascal units
	which may make coding on BeBox easier...
	

Oh, btw, please don't bug the original author (look at the README.original)
about this port. If you have any nice comments, then send it to the below
address, if you have any complaints, I'll answer when I feel lazy :)
