Detailed Description

This file contains some precompiler definitions which indicate the operating system and/or compiler used.

Most definitions usually should be provided in the command line of the compiler, but if none are given then some reasonable values are determined based on the definitions already provided by the compiler (GNU C++ is supported).

The first section determines the operating system choice: either Unix-like, or DOS/Windows-like. It defines ppDOS for opening binary files with the "ios::binary" flag and other features available only in DOS/Windows. It defines ppUNIX to activate Unix-characteristic behavior of programs, and to suppress functions inavailable under Unix. It defines both for the GNU C++ compiler used in DOS/Windows.

Then it determines whether the wxWindows (wxWidgets) GUI is available, based on one of the various symbols defined by the wx-config script. If so, then the symbol ppWXWIN is defined.

Eventually, the type to be used as 16-bit integers and 32-bit integers is defined.
