- - What's Different from the DOS version
-
- Bullet for Windows operates exactly like the DOS version with a few exceptions:
-
- 1. Null pointers to key buffers are usually detected and reported
- 2. More involved checking of the country collate table is done
- 3. A BASIC-ready is not provided, though a Visual Basic programmer need
- only change a few of the Bullet for DOS BASIC version's .BI structures,
- so as to exactly match the .H provided -- it _should_ work fine for VB,
- but I haven't tested it.
-
- Essentially, Bullet for DOS and Bullet for Windows are functionally equivalent.
- Bullet for DOS is included with all orders of Bullet for Windows.
-
-
- - Start-Up
-
- Have all the archive files listed in !PACKLST.TXT in an empty directory
- for the installation. Run WINSTALL.EXE from DOS. Follow the instructions,
- and after a couple of keypresses, WBULLET.LIB is ready to go to work.
- After a successful install, move the HLP file to your help files' directory;
- the LIB to your LIB directory; the H to your INCLUDE directory; and the
- samples to where you want to test them -- actually, you can put the files
- where ever you want. The samples were compiled using the VC1.5 compiler,
- and the QuickWin Windows library. Borland's EasyWin can also be used.
- Remember to align any and all Bullet structures to byte-alignment. Watcom
- users will need to make their own tests until some MFC samples are available.
-
- Any problems with Bullet operating as expected should be directed to me at
- the BBS Bullet conference, or through e-mail (see PRODUCT SUPPORT in the
- help file). Read the documentation first, though.

-
- - Distribution
-
- The shareware versions of Bullet, as well as all shareware versions of
- my toolkits, may be included on any BBS (including, but not limited to,
- Compuserve), and may be included on any shareware CD (including, but
- not limited to, the SimTel collection). In other words, you are granted
- the right to distribute the shareware versions of Bullet by any means
- that you are able, provided that it is understood that any collection
- made by you is for your distribution cost of the media, and is not in any
- way directly related to Bullet.
