Updating Your Avigo SDK Beta Version


This is the final release version of the Avigo SDK. It is a free update from versions 1.00 (beta) and 1.01 (beta)

The patch for the SDK is organized as an install/setup which overwrites the previously installed version of the SDK.

To update the SDK you will need to download the three PKZIP archive files, AVGPAT-1.ZIP, AVGPAT-2.ZIP and AVGPAT-3.ZIP. Copy these files to the ROOT DIRECTORY of a logical hard drive. Note that you must use the root directory or the installation will not work.

Avgpat-1.zip (1.02M)
Avgpat-2.zip (494K)
Avgpat-3.zip (1.15M)

Unzip these files using PKZIP version 2.04g or later with the -d option to recreate the directory structure for the distribution files. From your Windows 95 Run menu, execute the file SETUP.EXE on the drive where you de-archived the ZIP files. In following the set-up prompts, select the directory of your beta version as the destination directory.

For the most part, the patching process overwrites certain files with later versions which have been updated. It also removes certain files from the sample code subdirectories which can have an adverse effect on running the simulator; FALCON.INI, FALCON.PIF, FALCON.DTP.


Changes

With the patch installed, you have effectively updated to version 1.02 of the SDK.

1. Tutorial and other sample projects will now run in the Avigo simulator without difficulty.

2. The "Tutorial" sample code now requires you to run ICON2DOT (in a DOS window) to generate the necessary header files. The project code will not build without these. See the on-line help.

3. The AVGIDE IDE now allows you to enter the names of Data Files for your project.

4. The AVGIDE IDE now allows you to specify a Graphics File for your project.

5. The SDK no longer links in the whole library when building projects - only that necessary to resolve external references.

6. The on-line help has been revised and improved.
