mwhahahah, nice try.
even if you did get a copy (which is not legal), i doublt you could do something powerful since the standard is far from this implementation now...
|
|

|

I don't need something powerfull.
The problem is that that i need it to program an old barecode scaner, and it must be at most MV C++ 1.5 (16 bits??)

Why would I want to do that? It would be illegal.

True, it has not been available for quite some time now. You might could get it from pricewatch.com[^] or the like.

So what is the difference between v1.5 and v1.52?

The difference must be between MV C++1.5 and MV C++ 1.5 Professional.
I the first does not support development of DOS applications

Are you needing to modify an existing project, or create a new one? If the latter, could you use VC++ v6?

I need to compile a file. But it must be older that VC++ 1.5 (it must be on 16 bits)

Which i think takes you back to v1.0.

What is the target OS?

DR DOS (not MS DOS!)
It is about an barecode scanner from Symbol. They have their own operating system. They provide some examples .C and .exe. I need to modify a bit the sample file and compile it to .exe. My .exe does not work.(even if i copile exactly the same file that generated their exe). Of course, customer support is off.

and their exe works ? The problem could be somewhere else not in the compiler

Write the software using assembler... then you don't have any problems 
Don't try it, just do it!

we use MVC 1.52 to compile DOS 6.22 applications all the time here at work...and have been for almost 10 years...as far as I know 1.52 is a complete package...I don't recall separate Standard/Pro versions.

I agree with Steve; I don't think there were separate Standard and Pro versions. I just checked our CD here at work -- it says nothing about being any particular edition.
That said, as long as Symbol gives you standard C libraries and headers, you could always use Open Watcom[^], which I understand still compiles 16-bit DOS programs.

I'm very confused ..
In the documentation they say:
For writing applications for Series 3000 terminals:
•
The Microsoft Visual C++ 1.5 development system should be installed on
your development PC.
Note:
It is important that you use the Microsoft Visual
C++ Professional edition, and not just Microsoft
Visual C++. The latter does not support the
development of DOS applications.
Further on in the documentation there are mix references to MV C++1.5 and MV C++ 1.52.
I could not find any professional version of VC++1.52 . But the fact is that the executable that i compile with VC++1.52 is different from the one that they provide. It is slightly bigger and it isn’t fully functional (some parts doesn’t work).
Any way , someone responded me from Symbol so maybe there is a chance.
Thank you for you posts!

Hai
I am basically a Microcontroller programmer and now just starting PC based programming to create front end applications to control my devices connected to the serial port.
Other experienced programmers are doing this thing using Visual C with MFC class. that much I now.
I must do this with Visual C because I want to study VC (Not VB).
I have started by reading books and doing some small lesson programmes from books.
But so far could not find any piece of example to configure serial port and send data through that by reading a file called HEX file in PC.
Any body please sugggest a starting point for this purpose.
I can manage C,but not an expert.I have been using C in microcntroller programming.
Please suggest

Start by learning the basics of User Interface design with MFC. SAMS Learning Visual C++ in 21 days or in 24 hours are good starting points. There is also a lot of information here in Code Project, but if you are a beginner, you'll need a step-by-step procedure that is more likely to find in a book.
After you've learned the basics and feel comfortable of creating at least dialog-based applications, you can start studying the serial port. I would recommend starting with Microsoft Communications Control, an ActiveX component that hides away the complications of configuring and using the serial port. With this combination (MFC - Microsoft Communications Control) you could have something running very quickly.

Thanks a lot. great site with lots of info.
I have already learned to make dialogue based applications from that sams 21 days book. but the problem happens that these classes, wrapper all are new concepts to me.But will manage with the info I found in this site.
Will get back with possible problems I may encounter.
Thanks a lot

I want to do this on Visual C.
Thanks a lot
