Q51603: EXT.H, EXTHDR.H Files Don’t Come with BASIC 6.00 or COBOL 3.00

Article: Q51603
Product(s): See article
Version(s): 6.00 6.00b | 6.00 6.00b
Operating System(s): MS-DOS | OS/2
Keyword(s): ENDUSER | B_COBOL S_QuickC S_C | mspl13_basic
Last Modified: 15-DEC-1989

EXT.H and EXTHDR.H, the files necessary to write C extensions for the
Microsoft Editor (M.EXE and MEP.EXE), are not included with the
Microsoft Editor software for the following products:

   Microsoft BASIC Compiler Version 6.00 or 6.00b for MS-DOS and OS/2
   Microsoft BASIC PDS Version 7.00 for MS-DOS and OS/2
   Microsoft COBOL Compiler Version 3.00 or 3.00a for MS-DOS and OS/2

As EXT.H and EXTHDR.H are included with the Microsoft C Compiler 5.10,
the lack of EXT.H and EXTHDR.H will only affect those who are writing
C extensions for the M.EXE or MEP.EXE editor and using Microsoft
QuickC.
