2-4 Using the API
Tools to Use The API functions support both Microsoft and Borland C compilers.
The API disk includes sample MAKE files for each compiler.
When you use the DOS API and link to ocapil.lib , use the
appropriate command-line switch to select the large memory model.
For more information, see your user manual for your compiler.
If you plan to use a programming language other than C, make sure
the programming language follows the appropriate calling convention
(Pascal for the DOS API; Win32 _stdcall for Windows NT). After you
write your application, use your compiler to link to
ocapil.lib
(DOS) or ocapi.lib (Windows NT).
The follow pages offer sample MAKE files for DOS and Windows NT
systems on Microsoft and Borland compilers.
Sample DOS MAKE file for Borland compilers
The following sample file shows how to use a Borland MAKE file. The
bold headings indicate the statements you need to modify for your
environment.
