The TextView DLL
                                 for
                              Windows 3

TextView is a system that provides a Windows 3 application with the ability to
write lines of text to a window with the minimum of effort. TextView itself
handles all the many operations needed to manage the window displaying the
text; you need only call the function that writes the text, in exactly the
same way as you would call printf in a DOS application.

You can create as many TextView windows as you require, and all will operate
independently. TextView windows can be resized by the user, minimized,
maximized and scrolled horizontally and vertically with no work needed by the
application. They can also have File menus that notify the application when
the user requests that the window contents be written to disk.

TextView windows can, of course, be used for an infinite variety of purposes.
One possibility is to use TextView to provide a way of outputting tracing and
debugging information when developing an application. Included with the system
are the sources for a demonstration application that contain a flexible
tracing system that may be incorporated into your own code.

TextView is supplied as a Dynamic Link Library or DLL. In this form it is not
added to the application's code at link time, but instead is bound to it
dynamically by Windows whenever an application needing it is run. All
applications using TextView will share the same code segments, making it very
efficient in memory utilisation.


What you need to use TextView
-----------------------------

In order to use TextView you will need to have a suitable compiler that can
generate Windows 3 code, such as Microsoft C 6.0. The TextView functions
follow the same conventions as used in the Windows API, and their descriptions
later in this guide use the same layout as in the Microsoft Windows
Programmer's Reference.

Distribution and Use of TextView
--------------------------------

of commercial disk libraries without the prior agreement of the author.

TextView may be freely used in any non-commercial Windows application. Authors
of such applications may include the TextView DLL with the products either
with or without the other files comprising the full distribution set. However,
such application should include in their documentation (or should display in
their About dialog box or in their online help) that they are using TextView,
and should list the author's copyright.

The demonstration sources supplied with TextView may be freely adapted and
included in other applications as required.

Authors of ShareWare or commercial products may not use TextView without the
author's written permission.
