ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.10. Short name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
A short name, from 1 to 8 characters, is required for generating file names -
as the FAT file system imposes this limitation. Only valid characters for a
file name may be used (ie. no spaces).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.11. Category ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Categories are defined by CI-Labs, or created by the part developer, to
indicated the general data type for a part. A list of defined categories is
provided in the drop-down list or you may type your own.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.12. Kind ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Kind refers to the specific data type, for instance the format of data for a
specific word processor.
A common format for kind is Company:Kind:ClassName for unique data types (ie.
IBM:Kind:MyPart).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.13. Display name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
During registration, OpenDoc requests a display name from the part. This name
will be returned.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.14. Author name ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
In the header information for each source file, the author line will contain

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.19. Runtime directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The runtime directory specifies the location of the OpenDoc runtime (the user
runtime). The makefiles shipped with PartMeister copy the DLL generated to the
BIN directory of the runtime after a successful build.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.20. Toolkit directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The toolkit directory specifies the location of the OpenDoc toolkit (ie.
C:\TOOLKIT).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.21. Public directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The public directory is the location where all files that are used by more than
one component are stored. For example, any part that may be used as a
superclass should have its IDL, XH and LIB files stored in the public
directory.
It is recommended that you create a new public directory in a directory that is
created specifically for creating OpenDoc parts (ie. C:\ODPARTS\PUBLIC).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2.22. Output directory ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
When a part is generated, a subdirectory will be created inside this directory
(using the short name). All source files generated will be created inside the
new subdirectory.
It is recommended that you create a new directory specifically for creating
OpenDoc parts, and specify that directory here (ie. C:\ODPARTS).
