_____________________________________________________________________________
This archive contains the following:
1) UW_DEMO.EXE
This is a demo of UltraWin V2.01 that shows just a few of its
capabilities. This program was compiled under Turbo C, large
model, and works in both text and graphic modes!
2) UW_DEMO.C
The source code to UW_DEMO.EXE. A careful inspection of this
file will give you a real head start in writing your own programs.
We wrote this not only to serve as a demo, but also as a reference
on how to utilize UltraWin to perform some really impressive feats!
3) 8x14ICON.FNT
This is the font file used by UW_DEMO.EXE. It was created with
UltraWin's powerful font editor, also part of the UltraWin
package.
4) STR_DEMO.EXE
This is a demonstration of UltraWin 2.01's powerful new data entry
functions. All the power of UltraWin 1.21 plus a lot more! This
file was compiled under the small model library, so you may use
this as a test file to compile yourself to be sure you have
UltraWin installed correctly for your compiler. For example, if
you are using Turbo C, or Borland C++ under the nomal ANSI (.C)
compiler, Your project would include STR_DEMO.C and UWINTS.LIB.
5) STR_DEMO.C
This is the source code to STR_DEMO.EXE.
6) UW.H, UW_GLOBX.H, UW_KEYS.H, UW_PROTO.H
These are the header files for UltraWin. Include these files into
each of your source files that needs to access UltraWin.
7) README.NOW
This is the file you are now reading.
8) UWINTS.LIB
The small model library for Turbo C, Turbo C++ and Borland C++,
under the normal ANSI "C" compiler (.C files). Specify this file
in your "C" projects.
9) UWINTCPS.LIB
The small model library for Turbo C++ and Borland C++, under the
"C++" compiler (.CPP files). Specify this file in your "C++"
projects.
10) UWINMS.LIB
The small model library for Microsoft C.
11) ENQHELP.EXE
This is the stand alone hypertext help engine. It allows you to
read our context-sensitive documentation from either DOS, or as
a transfer program! The program will even read the function name
under the blinking cursor and search for that function in the
documentation, giving you a context-sensitive function reference
from your compiler or text editor. Refer to the documentation for
more information.
12) ENQHELP.DOC
This is the documentation on how to both use the engine, as well
as write your own help files.
13) TCKBD.COM
This is a tiny TSR that keeps a copy of the last cursor coordinates.
This is only needed for those of you which wish to setup the
ENQHELP.EXE program as a transfer program from your editor, as many
editors hide the cursor before calling a transfer program.
14) PRT_HELP.EXE
This program will take an ASCII hypertexted help file and strip all
commands and special keywords.
15) UW_HELP0.HLP - UW_HELP6.HLP
These are the context-sensitive hypertext help files, used by our
new help engine. It is a complete, context-sensitive manual for
UltraWin.

VERY IMPORTANT!!!
If you like UltraWin, be sure to get InTUItion, UltraWin's companion
product that implements a complete user interface! Dialog boxes, pick
lists, menus, and more are a snap with InTUItion. InTUItion also gives
you a fully functioning file selector, a linkable context-sensitive
hypertext help engine, and a powerful dialog/menu/interface construction
program (the TUICP) that lets you interactively design your interface.
The TUICP can generate linkable dialogs and menus and even write the
processing code for you. Best of all the tools and small model libraries
for InTUItion are free!
If you don't have access to one of the major online services, you can
call our own BBS. The BBS is also a good place to interact with other
users of our products, and get the latest demos and examples. All the
latest tools and products are also available for download 24 hours a day,
7 days a week!

ORDERING INFORMATION
To order UltraWin and/or InTUItion, simply mail a check or money order
for $39.95 for UltraWin, $99.95 for both UltraWin and InTUItion, to the
address at the top of this file.
For $99.95 you get the large model libraries for all the Borland C and
C++ compilers as well as Microsoft C, complete source code for not only
the UltraWin and InTUItion libraries, but also for the TUICP, the
UltraWin font editor, and the EnQue Hypertext Help Engine. We also ship a
comprehensive laser printed manual bound in a handsome vinyl 3-ring
binder. This format makes it very easy to incorporate any additions or
corrections we send.
For $39.95 you get UltraWin with complete source, the stand alone
UltraWin Font Editor and EnQue Hypertext Help Engine, and the manual.
Both the $39.95 and $99.95 price also give you access to free upgrades
via the EnQue BBS.
Considering the cost of tools that do anything close to what we do, our
price is dramatically low. You will pay anywhere from $200 - $1000 to
get libraries of similar quality, and even then you might not be able to
do everything UltraWin and InTUItion can do. Then add on top of that
our policy of letting you use the small model libraries and the full-blown
tools for free, and you have a combination that lets you really test-drive
our software before you buy it, not just look at some demo. I don't know
how many times that we as programmers have ordered a package to find out
it doesn't live up to its billing, or it's so bug-laden that it's nearly
useless -- another couple of "c-notes" down the drain. We want to be
different and innovative. We feel that the users that do not purchase
the package, because the small model is enough for them to get by, will
be outweighed by those that appreciate our policy and shell out the
relatively small price to get full source, printed manual, and support!
