INSTALLATION FOR DOS BASED MACHINES

c:
mkdir /oxbow
cd /oxbow
unzip -d oxcc1400 // or pkunzip
make // runs the batch file make.bat

At this point you will have a number of .exe files in the oxbow
directory. You can add oxbow to the PATH variable in autoexec.bat
or you can move the .exe files to a preferred directory.
If you don't like the directory name `oxbow' you can pick another
name but you will have to enter an environment variable `OXPATH'
in the autoexec.bat file. e.g. SET OXPATH=mydir



WHAT IS OXCC AND WHY SHOULD YOU BE INTERESTED

OXCC is a multipass, interpreting C compiler with several language
extensions. It generates an Architecture Neutral Format (ANF) output
and comes with a couple of example back ends. Programmers are expected
to write additional back ends for their specific needs.

Language extensions have been inspired by GCC, MSC and Watcom C.
OXCC is designed to produce 16 bit, 32 bit, 64 bit, segmented and
flat model code for any target architecture and operating system.

OXCC can interpret its' input, it can also regenerate source code
after interpretation. Source regeneration properly handles `malloced'
data containing pointers.

OXCC will shortly be available as a re-entrant subroutine or class
which can be added directly to application programs. It provides
full access to the internal Abstract Syntax Tree and symbol table.
