Welcome to With Class 2.1 Educational Version (10 Class Limit)
1. Installing With Class
The following are the minimum system requirements for With Class:
- 80386 processor or higher (80486 or higher recommended)
- MS-Windows 3.1 or higher
- Mouse that supports MS-Windows
- VGA monitor - 1024x768 or higher resolution recommended
To initially install and run With Class, follow these steps:
>> Copy all With Class files into a directory, e.g. wc2
>> Copy MFCOLEUI.DLL into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
>> Copy DATADIC1.DOT to the WINWORD\TEMPLATE directory if
Microsoft Word 6.0 is present
>> Ensure CTL3D.DLL in your path, e.g. C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM is in
your autoexec.bat path statement
>> Ensure the following files are in the C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory: COMPOBJ.DLL, STORAGE.DLL, OLE2.DLL, OLE2DISP.DLL,
OLE2NLS.DLL, CTL3D.DLL, AND MFCOLEUI.DLL. If not installed,
copy the provided dll's into C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM. Note - do
not overwrite any installed dll's unless you have a problem.
A early wc2 release contained OLE2 dll's dated 11/16/94 which
caused some problems with Microsoft Office applications.
Specifically, you could not run Microsoft Chart from Microsoft
Word 6.0. This release contains the OLE2 dll's dated 11/20/94
which work well with Microsoft Office applications.
>> Ensure SHARE is either executed automatically or is in your
autoexec.bat. Sample entries are C:\DOS\SHARE,
C:\DOS\SHARE /L:500, OR C:\DOS\SHARE /F:5100 /L:500.
Alternatively, a sample config.sys entry is INSTALL=SHARE /F:4096.
>> In Windows Program Manager, create the With Class icon by
selecting "File New", "Program Icon", and entering WC2.EXE
>> In Windows, run With Class from Windows, e.g. "File Run
WC2.EXE" or double click the With Class icon
To install With Class from a disk provided from MicroGold:
Type from windows program manager FILE | RUN a:install.exe.
To print user instructions, print topics from the Help Menu.
With Class file creates wc2.ini in the windows directory. If you
have problems launching With Class, delete WC2.INI so that it is
automatically regenerated. If you have video problems, try using
standard VGA (640 x 480) or the most up-to-date video drivers
available for your video card. Ensure you are using the dll's
provided with the product. Older version dll's may be on your
system in another directory and may be invoked. If you have any
installation problems, contact MicroGold Software at
71543.1172@compuserve.com.
Known Limitations with this educational version :
(1) Due to OLE constraints only 3 diagrams may be open at a time.
When you try to save the 4th diagram, you may get an error, e.g.
Illegal File Name. If you get this error, close one or more
diagrams and save the diagram.
(2) Once an OLE object is inserted into a diagram using Insert
New Object, it cannot be deleted.
(3) OLE Copy is experimental and may cause unpredictable results
if you use Copy OLE menu command to copy, paste, and activate a
diagram into MS Word 6.0. To copy a diagram into another Windows
application, it is recommended that you use Copy for a bitmap copy.
(4) Cut is not implemented.
(5) Put only 9 classes on a diagram. Putting 10 or more classes
on this educational version may cause unpredicable results.

4. Creating a Data Dictionary in Microsoft Word 6.0
You can create a text data dictionary by running the script rptdict.sct.
However, it is recommended that you create your data dictionary in
Microsoft Word 6.0 to be able to sort and set fonts.
To create a data dictionary in Microsoft Word 6.0 follow these steps:
>> Copy the Microsoft Word 6.0 template datadic1.dot into the
Winword\template directory
>> Launch With Class from Windows
>> Open a class diagram, e.g. cppcar.omt
>> Select "Generate - Generate Report"
>> Enter a report name, e.g. datadict.txt
>> Select worddic1.sct to generate the text version of the data dictionary
>> Launch Microsoft Word 6.0
>> Select "File - New" and Template datadic1 (datadic1.dot)
>> Select "Insert - Database"
>> Place cursor below the headings
>> Select "Get Data" and Text Files (*.txt) and datadict.txt (generated
data dictionary text file)
>> Select "Insert Data" and All to import the data dictionary entries.
>> Delete blank rows, set font sizes, sort as desired.
5. This version supports entering and saving data types from various
languages. Data types are saved in the wc2.ini file. WC2.ini is created
upon installation and if no wc2.ini exists. The initial wc2.ini has C/C++
data types, e.g. int, float. Whenever you enter a new data type for an
attribute, the wc2.ini file is updated. When you begin using With Class,
it is recommended that you create a diagram to enter the all the basic
data types for attributes for the language and class library that you
are using. The following are sample data types that may be used in various
languages:
- Microsoft Visual C++: CString needs #includes "stdafx.h" or <afx.h>
- Borland C++ 3.X: String needs #include <strng.h>
- Borland C++ 4.X: string needs #include <string.h>
- Pascal and Delphi: Byte, Integer, LongInt, Word, Real, char, String, Double
- Ada: Boolean, Character, Integer, Float, Positive, Natural, Duration, String
- Eiffel: BOOLEAN, CHARACTER, INTEGER, REAL, DOUBLE, ARRAY, STRING
You may directly update the wc2.ini file to change a spelling or capitalization.
If you modify the wc2.ini file ensure that Number = the number of types.
Close With Class prior to making changes to wc2.ini
If your wc2.ini file becomes corrupted, delete or rename wc2.ini and a new
wc2.ini will be regenerated the next time you start With Class.
