Annotation of mstools/mfc/samples/tutorial/readme.txt, revision 1.1.1.1

1.1       root        1: This directory contains the sample program used in the MFC
                      2: tutorial, PHBOOK.  The CMDBOOK and DMTEST programs provided in
                      3: the C7 version of MFC are not available in the NT Beta release.
                      4: They will be added in a future release.  Please disregard 
                      5: references to DMTEST and PHBOOK in the remainder of this file.
                      6: 
                      7: 
                      8: These files build three different programs: DMTEST.EXE,
                      9: CMDBOOK.EXE, and PHBOOK.EXE.
                     10: 
                     11: DMTEST.EXE is a DOS program that tests the implementation of
                     12: the CPerson and CPersonList classes.
                     13: 
                     14: CMDBOOK.EXE is a DOS program that provides a character-based
                     15: interface to the phone book database.  This program has many
                     16: of the capabilities of the final Windows program, with the
                     17: exception of print support and (naturally) a graphical user
                     18: interface.
                     19: 
                     20: PHBOOK.EXE is a Windows 3.0 program; the final result.  This is
                     21: a simple but complete application that implements a phone book
                     22: database of CPerson objects.
                     23: 
                     24: All three programs share a common source file, PERSON.CPP.  CMDBOOK.EXE
                     25: and PHBOOK.EXE also share the database implementation in DATABASE.CPP.
                     26: 
                     27: The makefiles used to build the samples in this directory put object
                     28: files and executables in target-specific subdirectories.  CMDBOOK and
                     29: DMTEST use the CHAR subdirectory, while PHBOOK uses the WIN subdirectory.
                     30: 
                     31: Note: If you switch between building DEBUG and RETAIL versions of
                     32: a particular application, you should do a clean build.  This is required
                     33: since retail and debug object files are stored in the same target
                     34: subdirectory.  If you fail to delete retail-built object files before
                     35: switching to a debug build, or vice versa, you will likely have link-time
                     36: errors.
                     37: 
                     38: For example:
                     39: 
                     40: nmake NTMFC=1 -f phbook DEBUG=1
                     41: nmake NTMFC=1 -f phbook clean
                     42: nmake NTMFC=1 -f phbook DEBUG=0
