WinStdio V2.1 ------------- What is it? ----------- WinStdio is a small and simple library of functions to emulate console input and output in C for Windows (partcularly Win16). Namely, it provide equivalent functionality for the C runtime library functions printf(), puts and gets(), prototyped in , hence "WinStdio". How much does it cost? ---------------------- Nothing. WinStdio is copyrighted freeware. I wrote WinStdio for myself when I needed simple debugging facilities way before the days of Windows 3.1 and I couldn't afford a second monitor or a debugging terminal. However, since then, I have found it useful for porting lots of simple DOS programs to Windows. If you find it useful, use it: If you don't, pass it on to somebody else who might. Where's the catch? ------------------ Well, I copyrighted the code so that I can do as I please with it, but you can use it and distribute it in anyway that you like, as long as you don't try to sell the source code as it stands. However, to avoid a severe case of 'Versionititis', I would ask that you don't redistribute modified copies of WinStdio. If you feel compelled to make available a 'much-debugged' version, please let me have a copy, so that I can synchronize releases. How do I use it? ---------------- Simple. Just include WINSTDIO.C in your project and include either STDIO.H or WINSTDIO.H header file in your C source files and make calls to printf(), puts or gets(). The latest version of WinStdio is always available from my Web page (see below).
