This manual uses special conventions for type and path name variables.
| Convention | Purpose | Example |
|
Courier |
Directory names, file names, examples, operating system commands, function names, and code. |

In addition to the typographic conventions, this manual uses path name variables to indicate information in a file name or path name that varies depending on your product, compiler, platform, and other issues. Table 3 lists these path name variables.
The following example shows how these variables can be used.
<rw_root>\workspaces\<OS+ver>\<COMPILER+ver>\<buildtype>
\buildloc\\mth<ver><osfam>
Using Math.h++ 6.1.7 as an example, the variable-filled path above could become the specific path below.
c:\rwav\workspaces\WINNT4\MSVC60\7s\buildloc\mth0617w
This specific path indicates a c:\rwav root directory, the Math.h++ 6.1.7 library, Windows NT, the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler, and the 7s library build type.
Table 3 also uses Math.h++ 6.1.7 as an example.
| Convention | Purpose | Example |
|
<rw_root> |
The name you gave your Rogue Wave root directory. |
c:\rwav |
|
<ver> |
