The following information is taken from the QuickC 2.00 README.DOC
file, Part 1, "Notes on 'Up and Running.'" The following notes refer
to Page 16 of "Up and Running": Using QuickC on a Floppy-Disk System.

QuickC requires certain files. One arrangement that works well for
dual- floppy systems is this:

     disk 1:   qc.exe

     disk 2:   qcc.ovl
               c1.err
               link.exe
               ilink.exe
               ilinkstb.ovl

     disk 3:   qc.hlp

     disk 4:   qcenv.hlp
               errors.hlp
               graphics.hlp
               notes.hlp
               *.hlp (any additional help files)

     disk 5:   \include\*.h
               \lib\xlibce.lib (x = S, M, C, or L)
               your source files

Set your environment as follows:

     PATH=A:\;B:\
     SET INCLUDE=B:\INCLUDE
     SET LIB=B:\LIB

Make the B drive the default. This is by no means the only setup. It
helps to minimize the swaps but may not be practical for large
programs.
