September 29, 1994 One small bug in the original sample has been fixed: the ODMASAMP.RC file contained a multi-line static text control (i.e. BORSTATIC) that required the BWCC.DLL to be present. This has now been changed to a simple STATIC text control. David Tracy DavidTr@wordperfect.com August 12, 1994 Installing the ODMA connection manager, sample DMS, and sample application 1. Place ODMA.DLL (the ODMA connection manager) in the Windows system directory. 2. Place ODMASAMP.DLL (the sample DMS) in any convenient directory. 3. Edit the text file ODMASAMP.REG so that the line that refers to ODMASAMP.DLL points to the directory where it was placed. 4. From File Manager or Program Manager, run the following command: regedit \odmasamp.reg You should get a message box saying that the information was successfully registered. 5. Place MULTODMA.EXE (the sample ODMA-aware application) in any convenient directory. Notes on the Sample DMS ODMASAMP is a simple, dumb document management system. It stores all the information about the documents it manages in ODMASAMP.INI. This file grows over time, so you may want to delete it occasionally, although doing so will cause the DMS to forget about all your documents. The ODMASAMP source code has been compiled with both Borland C++ 4.0 and Microsoft C/C++ 8.0. It needs to be compiled in the large memory model. If you find any bugs, please let me know and I'll correct them in the future. Notes on the Sample ODMA-Aware Application MULTODMA is an adaptation of the Windows SDK multipad sample application. This program is a simple MDI text editor. It shows how to use most of the ODMA functions to make an application ODMA-aware. Updates to the sample code, the connection manager, and the ODMA specification will be posted on Compuserve and the WordPerfect FTP server.
