Psy-Q Development System
Note: The standard Brief feature of using Alt-F10 to compile the current file as
instructed by the BCxxx environment variable still works as normal.
However, if you take the time to write a simple make file for each of your
projects you will find the additional Psy-Q keystrokes much more convenient
and powerful.
The Psy-Q brief macros:
Ctrl-G Goto label (locate definition of label under the cursor in loaded source
files)
Ctrl-F Return from label (undo the above operation)
Ctrl-W Write out all changed files
Ctrl-V Evaluate expression under cursor using values from symbol file(s)
Ctrl-F9 Select make file for current project
Ctrl-F10 Make program and enter debugger
Alt-F9 Make program and start it running
F9 Enter the Debugger
If you wish to change any of these key assignments then change to your
\BRIEF\MACROS directory and edit the file PSYQ.CB. Near the top of this file
you will see where the keys are assigned to the various functions and it should be
easy to change the key names and re-compile the macro by pressing Alt-F10.
Note: If you re-assign any of the Brief standard key assignments then you may lose
access to that original Brief function.
Ctrl-F9 allows you to select which make file you wish to use. By default, Psy-Q will
use the file in your current directory called MAKEFILE.MAK. If you do not wish
to use this file then use Ctrl-F9 to select the preferred make file.
Ctrl-F10, Alt-F9 and F9 work by calling the PSYMAKE program with a suitable
parameter to select which operation to perform. Your Psy-Q disk includes a simple
make file called MAKEFILE.MAK as an example. If you edit this file you will see
that it defines how to do one of three operations:-
• Assemble and Run.
• Assemble but don't Run.
• Enter Debugger.
