HOWTO: Obtaining 16-bit Visual C++ Run-Time Library Source Code

ID: Q153377

The information in this article applies to:

The C Run-Time (CRT), included with:
- Microsoft Visual C++ for Windows, 16-bit edition, versions 1.0, 1.5, 1.51, 1.52

SUMMARY

The source code for the C/C++ run-time library for 16-bit versions of Visual C++ is available to customers for informational and debugging purposes in self-extracting files. Note that the Visual C++ versions listed at the beginning of this article all use the same run-time source code.

IMPORTANT: How to Extract the Source Code

Once you obtain the correct self-extracting files, run them using the -D option to extract the source code and set up the correct directory structure:


   VCCRT1.EXE -D
   VCCRT2.EXE -D

Each file contains roughly 1/2 the C/C++ run-time library source code. You will need to copy and extract both files. This will require approximately four megabytes of disk space. Several hundred files will be copied to your disk. For more information on using the source code, please refer to the README.TXT file included in the self-extracting files.
