Installation Instructions
==============================================================
This disk uses a batch file to install the software. The
following procedure describes the installation process:
1. From the MS-DOS prompt change to the floppy drive this disk
is in. For example, to install from the a: drive use:
"c:> A:"
2. Run the INSTALL batch file. For example:
"a:> INSTALL C:\VFWDK"
Replace C:VFWDK with the disk and path for the destination of
your files.
3. When installation is complete, change your INCLUDE and LIB
environment variables to include the INC and LIB directories in
your destination path. For example, if you used C:\VFWDK as the
path during installation, you could use the following:
SET INCLUDE=[previous include line];C:\VFWDK\INC
SET LIB=[previous lib line];C:\VFWDK\LIB
For these examples, replace [previous include line] and [previous
lib line] with any existing paths for these statements.
4. You might want to also include the BIN directory to your PATH
variable. The following example shows the template for modifying
your PATH statement to include the Development Kit's BIN directory:
SET PATH=[previous path line];C:\VFWDK\BIN
As in the previous examples, replace [previous path line] with any
existing path statements.
Known Problems
==============================================================
DrawDibBegin() doesn't verify the hdc and lpbi parameters. If
passed NULL for hdc the function will return TRUE. If passed a
NULL for lpbi it will GP Fault in msvideo.dll.
DrawDibChangePalette() will return TRUE if passed NULL for the
lppe parameter.
DrawDibGetPalette() will return a NULL handle unless you:
1. call DrawDibBegin() before calling DrawDibGetPalette()
- or -
2. call DrawDibDraw() before calling DrawDibGetPalette()
If DrawDibDraw() is passed NULL for the hdd or hdc parameters
you may have problems drawing to that hdd in the future.
If you are using MASM 6.x to assemble the sample Bravado driver
then please comment out the lines #129 and #272 in the file
mapa.asm.
Unsupported Goodies
===============================================================
The MCIWnd library is included in this Developer's Kit as an
unsupported library. You are free to link with mciwnd.lib and
use the APIs as documented in mciwnd.doc, but do so at your own
risk and the knowledge that PSS will not support this library
or API. The sample program for MCIWnd is in the [mciplay]
directory. Documentation for MCIWnd, in WinWord format, is found
in that directory also.
