1. Welcome!
-----------
Welcome to version 3.00 of the Expand library for Clipper 5.01.
This file contains some last minute notes and some important
remarks about this library, it's usage and the conditions of usage.
If you received this Library via colleagues, a friend, a shareware
distribution centre or by downloading from a Bulletin Board System,
you (should) have the Evaluation Version of the Library. See documentation
for more details. There is a difference between Evaluation and Commercial
versions of the Library.
The package is named EXPAND53 on Bulleting Boards and other means of
distribution, which stands for Version 3 of the Expand library for Clipper 5.
2. Files in Archive or on Disk:
-------------------------------
The EXPAND53 archive or the disk labeled Expand v3.00 for Clipper 5.01
should contain the following files:
EXPAND.LIB The Expand library, for Clipper 5.01, version 3.00
Just link in with your Clipper 5.01 applications.
EXPAND.NG The Norton Guide to Expand. Use NG.EXE or the NGUTILs to
read the information contained herein. There is no written
documentation (although it could be printed using functions
from the library), this, because using the Electronic version
is quite easier and handier. This allows changes, updates,
easier distribution and it spares paper.
EXPAND.LNK A Linker response File for the Blinker (tm) Users.
XPDEMO.ARJ This archive contains the demonstration program. It's
stored in Compressed form by means of the ARJ archiver.
Retrieve the files by executing ARJ X XPDEMO at the DOS prompt.
XPNGDEMO.ARJ This archive contains utilities concerning the Norton Guides
routines of the Expand Library.
EXPAND52.ARJ An upgrade module for the users of older versions of the Expand
library. See "Release Notes" in the Documentation for more
details.
ORDER.DOC A file that might be used to order the Library, print it for
more information.
READ.ME This file.
The distribution disk might also contain:
VGAFONTS.ARJ This file contains some VGA Fonts for use with the
XPloadFont() function. This file will probably not be
included in the Expand Archive, as to not increase its
size too much. You may find this file seperately on a BBS too.
3. Expand documentation:
------------------------
All the documentation is grouped into a Norton Guide file, to be read
by the Norton Guides program as supplied with Clipper 5.01. If you want
to print the documentation, use the NGPRINT.PRG program. The NGPRINT
program read's EXPAND.NG (using Expand Library features), and prints
it to a printable file, EXPAND.PRN.
4. Getting the Latest version of Expand:
----------------------------------------
The latest version of the Expand Library can always be F'requested at the
Clipper Developers Group Netherlands (of which I am a member) Bulletin Board.
The CDGN BBS (Also known as Hekom BBS) has FidoNode 2:500/223. Use magic
name EXPAND for latest version of Expand for Clipper 5.01 and Magic name
EXPAND87 for latest version of Expand for Clipper '87. Note that only
Evaluation versions of the Library are (and may be) placed on BBS's. If
you want some information about purchasing the Library, read the documentation
or contact me by Fax or Phone.
You can also call this BBS or leave NetMail for me at this adres. It is not
my BBS, but I'm a regular user of it. Although the Mail doesn't always get
through. Therefore, the Fax would be the preferred medium. But Mail and/or
phoning is Ok, though.
5. Licence Agreement:
---------------------
Read the "Licence" Part of the documentation for full details on the
license. The Expand library for Clipper 5.01 is distributed on BBS's
in an Evaluation version. If you are going to effectively use the Library,
you must purchase the Library. You can purchase the Library in three different
ways, depending on the fact if you want (parts of) sources. Please read
the section "Registering" when you consider purchasing Expand. Note that you
now already have a fully functionnal version of the Library, no items
have been left out, as is required by the definition of "shareware".
6. "Quick" Compile:
-------------------
If you want a Quick demonstration of the main features of the Expand library,
Compile and Link to XPDEMO.EXE as follows:
>XPRTL
if you use .RTlink, or
>XPBLI
if you use Blinker.
Note that you must first extract the Files from the XPDEMO.ARJ archive.
It is a good idea to place them in a separate directory.
