| Description: |
Provides an introduction to the writing of scientific programs on the OS/2 presentation manager. The book explains how to write programs in the C language and how to plot data on hard copy devices such as dot matrix printers and pen plotters. |
| Synopsis: |
This book describes the scientific applications of OS/2, IBM's operating system for advanced PCs, especially PS/2s. The system overcomes most objections to DOS by allowing access to up to 16 megabytes of memory - and offers true multi-tasking. The book covers lab data acquisition and display of lab data and has numerous examples from working programs. The reader is taught how to write scientific applications in the C language, which take advantage of special Presentation Manager features like drop-down menus, message and dialog boxes, and the device-independent graphical programming interface. The book includes such latest techniques of PM programming as how to use multiple threads of execution within a program to run several tasks simultaneously, how to use graphical features unique to the PS/2 PM environment, how to acquire data from data acquisition cards using IOPL instructions, how to write device drivers using C or Assembler, and how to capture, display and plot data plots. |
