- BORLAND/: Borland C++ 4.52 (chosen over 4.5 by byte-match: CODE/RP/CW32.LIB
is identical to 4.52's install lib). BCC32/TLINK32/TLIB/MAKE run natively on
Win11; CODE/BT/OPT.MAK is the shipped BTL4OPT.EXE's exact flag recipe
(extender = Borland PowerPack DPMI32, not Phar Lap TNT).
- restoration/source410/: the literal 1995-form reconstruction of the missing
BT game source (never mixed into CODE/). Round 1-3 state:
* 6 of 10 surviving original TUs COMPILE CLEAN under the period toolchain
(BTMSSN, BTCNSL, BTSCNRL, BTTEAM, BTL4MODE, BTL4ARND) - first builds
since 1996.
* BT_L4/BTL4APP.CPP pilot reconstruction: 12/12 functions, Fail() lands on
its binary-recorded line 400 exactly.
* BT/BTCNSL.HPP: console wire IDs recovered from the binary's ctors
(Killed=9, Damaged=10, ScoreUpdate=13, DeathWithoutHonor=15 [T1];
TeamScore=12 flagged [T4]).
* MUNGA/: 8 engine-header backfills back-dated from the BT412 WinTesla tree
(VDATA numbering decomp-verified; AUDREND's OpenAL-era virtual removed -
the period compiler is the drift detector).
* Tooling: backdate.py (WinTesla->1995 header transform), compile410.sh
(per-TU verification sweep under authentic OPT.MAK flags).
* README: corrected roadmap - MECH.HPP is the capstone grown with the mech
TU reconstructions; BTREG.CPP green = the header-family milestone.

International API
|
||
===========================================================================
|
||
|
||
|
||
Borland C++ provides support for international program
|
||
development. Currently, support is provided for the
|
||
Great Britain and United States English, French, and
|
||
German locales. Future releases of Borland C++ will
|
||
increase the number of locales supported.
|
||
|
||
The LOCALE.BLL Support for these locales is contained in the
|
||
file is installed LOCALE.BLL library. By default, the "C" locale is in
|
||
in BC45\BIN effect. However, a call to setlocale dynamically links
|
||
directory. the LOCALE.BLL library to your program. A locale-
|
||
specific module is enabled by a call to setlocale. The
|
||
call will also specify which character set to use with
|
||
the locale. (Character set is sometimes referred to as
|
||
"code page" or "code set.") You can query the locale
|
||
settings by using localeconv and setlocale functions.
|
||
See the Library Reference, Chapter 3, for a description
|
||
of these functions.
|
||
|
||
If the call to setlocale can be resolved, several
|
||
character-handling functions change their behavior.
|
||
Because Borland C++ 4.5 international API currently
|
||
supports only 8-bit characters (thereby enabling
|
||
recognition of as many as 256 characters), only
|
||
single-byte character-handling functions are affected.
|
||
The list of affected functions is in the Library
|
||
Reference, Chapter 1.
|
||
|
||
In your code, you must #define _ _USELOCALES_ _to have
|
||
the locale-sensitive functions available. Otherwise,
|
||
only the "C" locale macros will be used.
|
||
|
||
|
||
The international =======================================================
|
||
API sample program
|
||
To illustrate the effects of selecting different
|
||
locales, Borland C++ provides a sample program. The
|
||
sample program (named INTLDEMO.EXE) is an ObjectWindows
|
||
application. All source code and a project file for the
|
||
sample are provided. The sample program INTLDEMO (in
|
||
BC45\EXAMPLES\WINDOWS\INTLDEMO) demonstrates how the
|
||
setlocale function can produce an "internationally
|
||
aware" Windows application. You can switch the inter-
|
||
face language at run time between English, French, and
|
||
German.
|
||
|
||
|
||
1
|
||
|
||
|
||
INTLDEMO displays all of the Windows ANSI character set
|
||
(also referred to as the WIN 1252 character set) in a
|
||
16-by-16 character grid. A number of characters are
|
||
highlighted according to the selections under the
|
||
"Locale" and the "Classification" menus. When you
|
||
execute INTLDEMO, the screen shows the default "C"
|
||
locale, and the default classification is isalpha. The
|
||
highlighted characters are therefore the characters A
|
||
to Z and a to z. By selecting another locale (for
|
||
example, French) the accented versions of the
|
||
characters (for example ‚) are also highlighted.
|
||
Various combinations of locale and classification can
|
||
be illustrated by selecting the appropriate menu items.
|
||
|
||
The results of calling the localeconv function for the
|
||
current locale are illustrated by selecting
|
||
"Conventions|Show". For example, with the French locale
|
||
selected, the international currency symbol becomes FRF
|
||
and the currency symbol becomes F. Note that this
|
||
window can remain open while either the language or
|
||
locale is changed and the values are updated
|
||
accordingly.
|
||
|
||
The "File|List" menu produces a dialog box that
|
||
demonstrates the effects of the locale on collation
|
||
sequences and on date and time functions. The files in
|
||
the current directory are shown sorted according to the
|
||
current locale, and with date and times displayed
|
||
according to the conventions and in the language of the
|
||
selected locale. File names can be switched between
|
||
upper/lower case to demonstrate the effects of the
|
||
toupper and tolower functions in the current locale.
|
||
The dialog also illustrates the effects of the
|
||
BWCCIntlInit function on the Ok, Cancel and Help
|
||
buttons of the dialog. Any file can be selected to be
|
||
viewed and its contents similarly sorted according to
|
||
the current locale collation sequence.
|
||
|
||
The "Language" menu allows the language of the UI to be
|
||
changed "on the fly." This feature uses ObjectWindow's
|
||
ability to associate windows interface elements to a
|
||
module, in this case a .DLL that contains the resources
|
||
in a particular language. When the language is changed,
|
||
a new language .DLL is loaded and the interface
|
||
elements are reloaded from that .DLL. Note that the
|
||
date and times in the File List dialog are not affected
|
||
by the change in language, but by the choice of locale.
|
||
|
||
The 'Classification' menu shows a list of the locale-
|
||
sensitive isxxx() functions. Selecting one of these
|
||
items will cause the characters that return true for
|
||
this function in the current locale to be highlighted
|
||
in the main window.
