#IPAS questions
4 messages in this thread
This may be a simple question, but I am new to the IPAS routines and 3DS in
general. I received the IPAS tool kit and it says I need the Metaware C
compiler and the Phar-Lap DOS extender. Can I use the Phar-Lap that came with
3DS and where do I get the Metaware C compiler, and once I do, what do I do????
Thanks for the help,
A slightly
confused student,

The PharLap that comes with 3DS is just the run time DOS extender. This code is
bound to 3DS.EXE. What you need from PharLap is the SDK which includes the
linker, debuger, librarian, and other tools necessary to generate IPAS (and
other programs as well). In the SDK, you get a "non distributable, non binding"
version of the DOS extender run time. You won't need that for IPAS as all the
IPAS routines run inside 3D Studio. Only if you decide to write a standalone
program you would need the run time code.
As to where to find Metaware High C, you can call them direct (408-429.6382).
They had a deal going on a while ago where you could get both compiler and
PharLap SDK for a reasonable price. You can also find both at Programmer's
Paradise (800-445.7899), Programmer's Connection (800-336.1166), and other
places.
Thanks Gus, hopefully I'll be able to figure this all out. Merry Christmas!
