complr_it"complr_it"

	Salford Software macro "complr_it". Crtl-F1
	

	Depending on "menu options" selected with Ctrl-F4, this
	command will either "Compile", "Compile & Link" or "Compile
	Link & Run" the current file.

	Compilation is based on the extension of the current file
	which is configured to a particular compiler. Compiler options
	are supplied from the "compiler options" selected with Ctrl-F4.

	"Link" is equivalent to Ctrl-F2 and "Run" is equivalent to
	Ctrl-F3. See these commands for further information.

	Crtl-F1 provides a Salford front end to the standard Alt-F10.
	It should only be used with Salford compilers.

link_it"link_it"

	Salford Software macro "link_it". Crtl-F2
	

	This macro calls LINK77 using the file <filename.lnk> of linker
	commands where <filename> is derived from the current file 
	(i.e it is the stem of the current file).

	If <filename.lnk> already exists then this file is used. If it
	does not exist and linker commands are placed in the "options
	dialogue box", then these are copied into a temporary file with
	this name before calling LINK77. 



	The full search path for linker information is as follows:




	  (a) a compiler /LINK option given explicitly by the user 
	      (Ctrl-F1 only)
	  (b) a file of linker commands "<filename>.lnk" (any changes to 
	      such a file will be automatically saved)
	  (c) linker commands in the "Options" dialogue box
	  (d) when linking with Ctrl-F1, a compiler /LINK option inserted 
	      by the system
	  (e) when using Ctrl-F2, elementary linker commands equivalent to 
	      are /LINK inserted by the system.







run_it"run_it"

	Salford Software macro "run_it". Crtl-F3
	

	This macro executes "RUN77 <filename>.exe" using the run-time 
	options placed in the "Options" dialogue box. <filename> is 
	derived from the current file (i.e it is the stem of the current 
	file).

	The macro is effective in a Windows environment provived LAUCHER
	appears in the Windows STARTUP group.







config_it"config_it"

	Salford Software macro "config_it". Crtl-F4
	

	This macro presents a "Options" dialogue box of commands and
	options available to other macros.
	
	All  the standard BRIEF editing facilities can be used in  this
	box.  In  particular, use F10 to save the options and  use  ESC
	to escape.
  
	The  compiler options are automatically copied to  a  temporary
	file  called  opt.$$$  which is used in  the  compiler  command
	line.   Similarly, the run-time options are copied to the  run-
	time  command  line.  

	More .....



	One  of  three "Menu  options"  can  be  selected by  clicking  
	on  the  space between  the brackets or by using the down arrow 
	and the  space bar (if you are not using a mouse then press 
	Ctrl-Home to  move off the "Menu options" line). If the selection
	is saved (by pressing F10) then the first line of the menu box 
	and its corresponding action are changed  accordingly.  In this 
	context the word "Link" has the	same  action as Ctrl-F2 (the 
	second menu box line) and "Run" has the  same  action as Ctrl-F3
	(the third line). The effect of these menu options is to emulate 
	the /LINK and /LGO  compiler  options in  situations  where there
	is more than one source file to compile.

	More .....






	These combined commands are sensitive to eachother. For example,
	if you select "Compile & Link" in the absence of a  linker file
	or linker commands, then /LINK will be  automatically  included
	in the compiler options if it is not already present. Similarly
	if you select  "Compile,Link & Run"  in the absence of a linker
	file and linker commands, then /LGO will be  automatically  in-
	cluded in the  compiler  options if it is not  already present.
	Equally,it is acceptable (and occasionally appropriate) to sel-
	ect the  compiler  option /LINK  together  with the menu option
	"Compile,Link & Run"





dos_it mklib77"dos_it mklib77"

	Salford Software macro "dos_it mklib77". Crtl-F7
	

	This macro simply calls MKLIB77.













dos_it mk"dos_it mk"

	Salford Software macro "dos_it mk". Crtl-F8
	

	This macro simply calls MK the Salford "make" utility. A suitable
	"makefile" must be created before using this macro.












show_next_error"show_next_error"

	Salford Software macro "show_next_error". Crtl-F9
	

	This is a Salford alternative to the standard Ctrl-n for "next
	error".  It selects and highlights the next compilation error
	after a compilation process has been carried out. 

	Compiler and linker warning messages will be reported when the
	popup menu shows that these are set ON.  Selecting these items
	from the menu toggles the ON/OFF state.







popup_menu"popup_menu"

	Salford Software macro "popup_menu". Crtl-F10
	

	Pressing Crtl-F10 is equivalent to clicking on the right
	mouse button. The result is that a popup menu of commands
	is displayed. 

	The menu may be customised by appending other items to the 
	"popup.mnu" file in the \BRIEF\HELP directory.
