Annotation of mstools/mfc/samples/tutorial/readme.txt, revision 1.1.1.2

1.1.1.2 ! root        1: This directory contains the files discussed in the tutorial.
1.1       root        2: These files build three different programs: DMTEST.EXE,
                      3: CMDBOOK.EXE, and PHBOOK.EXE.
                      4: 
                      5: DMTEST.EXE is a DOS program that tests the implementation of
                      6: the CPerson and CPersonList classes.
                      7: 
                      8: CMDBOOK.EXE is a DOS program that provides a character-based
                      9: interface to the phone book database.  This program has many
                     10: of the capabilities of the final Windows program, with the
                     11: exception of print support and (naturally) a graphical user
                     12: interface.
                     13: 
                     14: PHBOOK.EXE is a Windows 3.0 program; the final result.  This is
                     15: a simple but complete application that implements a phone book
                     16: database of CPerson objects.
                     17: 
                     18: All three programs share a common source file, PERSON.CPP.  CMDBOOK.EXE
                     19: and PHBOOK.EXE also share the database implementation in DATABASE.CPP.
                     20: 
                     21: The makefiles used to build the samples in this directory put object
                     22: files and executables in target-specific subdirectories.  CMDBOOK and
                     23: DMTEST use the CHAR subdirectory, while PHBOOK uses the WIN subdirectory.
                     24: 
                     25: Note: If you switch between building DEBUG and RETAIL versions of
                     26: a particular application, you should do a clean build.  This is required
                     27: since retail and debug object files are stored in the same target
                     28: subdirectory.  If you fail to delete retail-built object files before
                     29: switching to a debug build, or vice versa, you will likely have link-time
                     30: errors.
                     31: 
1.1.1.2 ! root       32: PWB will take care of this for you when you switch between build
        !            33: types using the Options/Build Options dialog.  If you use NMAKE,
        !            34: you must do the 'clean' step yourself.
        !            35: 
1.1       root       36: For example:
                     37: 
1.1.1.2 ! root       38: nmake -f phbook DEBUG=1
        !            39: nmake -f phbook clean
        !            40: nmake -f phbook DEBUG=0
