VB/Rig Standard Edition - Version 1.0a
======================================
Compuserve Shareware Registration
---------------------------------
1. You may order a registered copy of VB/Rig through Compuserve's
"GO SWREG" service. The Registration IDs for VB/Rig are:
3117 - Professional Edition
3115 - Standard Edition
Professional Edition Demo
-------------------------
1. The DEMOPRO.EXE sample program demonstrates two of the additional
features available in the Professional Edition of VB/Rig:
-- Error-trapping can be enabled or disabled at runtime.
-- Errors can be time-stamped and logged to a sequential
file at runtime.
Changes in Version 1.0a
-----------------------
1. If you occassionally edit your source code outside of the VB IDE,
you may introduce TAB characters (rather than multiple SPACEs) to
the beginning of indented lines. Leading TABs and other non-printable
characters prevented Version 1.0 from recognizing (and therefore,
rigging) indented "Exit" and "End" statements. This problem has
been fixed.
2. VB/Rig now generates CONST declarations for the module names and
procedure names that are passed as parameters to VBRig_Error. This
not only saves string resources, but makes it much easier for you
to manually rename modules and/or procedures. Rather than having to
search-and-replace all those hard-coded literals, you can now simply
change the CONST declaration.
In order to take advantage of this change, you must re-rig your
application with Version 1.0a. This is not mandatory, however,
as the older code can co-exist peacefully with the newer style.
3. Professional Edition only -- A new global variable, VBRigLogWarnings,
has been implemented to control the display of "warning" message boxes.
The only warning VB/Rig currently displays is "Procedure Stack Out
of Sync". See the "VB/Rig Warnings" topic in the .HLP file.
4. Professional Edition only -- A new global variable, VBRigAppINI,
has been implemented so that you may use your application's private
.INI file, rather than WIN.INI, to specify the path\filename of
your error-log file. See the "Code Options" topic in the .HLP file.
5. Professional Edition only -- Rigging an application for
"Profiling Only" triggered the "Out of Sync" warning if a runtime
error actually occurred. This problem has been fixed, but you
must re-rig your application with Version 1.0a in order to
generate the corrected code.
Note that the "Profiling Only" code option has been renamed to
"Tracing Only". This is a more accurate label since "profiling"
implies advanced metrics and reporting that VB/Rig does not provide.
6. Professional Edition only -- VB/Rig now supports logging of
runtime errors directly to Avanti Software's "PinPoint" tracing
and profiling tool.
7. VB/Rig's code generator is now aware of "instrumentation" code
generated by PinPoint's "PPAUTOVB" utility, and can insert and
remove rigging without disturbing those PinPoint calls.
8. The "Build SELECT CASE Blocks" code option now generates slightly
better, more usable, code.
9. SETUP now creates an INSTALL.LOG file in the VB/Rig directory, and
no longer overwrites your VBRIG.INI file when you re-install.
Slipstream Revision, Oct. 1, 1994
---------------------------------
The following changes were implemented in a re-build of VB/Rig 1.0a.
No functional enhancements were made.
VBRIG.EXE - Changed background color of all command buttons
to "light grey"; Removed declarations of unreferenced
variables.
VBRIGPRO.BAS - Removed declarations of unreferenced variables.
SETUP.EXE - Creates Program Manager icon for INSTALL.LOG and
REGCARD.EXE.
REGCARD.EXE - Added a fill-in for "Email" address.
DEMOPRO.xxx - Rewrote the Professional Edition demo application to
exploit the enhancements introduced in VB/Rig 1.0a.
GOODIES.COM - Self-extracting archive now included free with all
versions of VB/Rig; a set of four useful code modules
and accompanying demo programs: multi-column listboxes,
INI file read/write, WINHELP functions, multi-printer output.
