- This readme file is intended as a quick start-up file for those in a hurry
- to try ClickBar on their system. Please pay attention to any last-minute
- notes or manual corrections that may be appended.

- Extracting Files
- ────────────────
-
- Build a "scratch" directory, preferably on a large RAM disk, that will
- be used to temporarily extract the delivered ClickBar files. For
- example,
-
- C> cd \ <return>
- C> md scratch <return>
- C> cd scratch <return>
-
- Copy the Clikbr15.ZIP file from the source diskette to the scratch
- directory:
-
- C> copy <diskette name>:\CLIKBR15.ZIP <return>
-
- Execute Pkunzip to extract the two main files:
-
- C> PKUNZIP CLIKBR15 <return>
-
-
- Installing Files into Windows
- ─────────────────────────────
-
- Start Windows, and from the Program Manager screen, execute
-
- "File" "Run" C:\SCRATCH\SETUP.
-
- Setup will propose a directory in which to install Clickbar. If the
- proposed directory is unacceptable, change it as necessary, and press
- OK. Setup will install ClickBar, and build a screen group named
- WynApse for the TestClik and ClikTest programs. This will also provide
- a convenient group for any test programs constructed using the
- toolbar. ;
-
-
-
- When SETUP is finished, and you next return to DOS, remove all the files
- from the scratch directory, and delete the directory:
-
- C> cd \scratch <return>
- C> del *.* <return>
-
- answer "Y" to the question about deleting all the files, then:
-
- C> cd \ <return>
- C> rd scratch <return>
-
-
- Thank you for supporting the shareware software concept and encouraging the
- future development of Windows shareware!
-
-
- ADDENDUM
-
- The following file has been added to the ship set:
-
- helpids.h
-
- This file should be moved to the same directory used for all other include
- (or header) files.
-
- and
- testclik.exe
- testclik.hlp
-
- Have been removed from the TESTCLIK.ZIP file, and added to the CLIKBR15.ZIP
- file to make an executable entry in the WynApse screen group.
-
-
-
- * * * NOTE * * *
-
- Watch for version 2.0 of ClickBar due out early in 1993. Version 2.0 will
- support "single image" buttons, cutting the size of ClickBar.DLL by
- almost 50%, and decreasing system resource usage.
-
- Also included in version 2.0 will be 32x32 ICON-sized 16 color buttons. Use
- your favorite icons as 3D buttons, or capture icons from your applications
- and use them as menu selections to "launch" the application.
-
- The placement and size of the click bar will be variable in version 2.0.
-
-
-
- Register version 1.0 now, and be the first to get version 2.0 at a reduced
- upgrade price!!

- wynbtn.h was accidently left out of the released shipset. That was added
- this date, and my Compuserve ID was corrected where wrong. The correct
- address is:
- 72251,445
-
- Sorry for any inconvenience any of this has made.

- Maintenance upgrade to version 1.5, and brought quite a few of the
- 2.0-proposed changes down to 1.5. Specifically:
-
- 1) Wynbtn.DLL is no longer used, except during the current version of setup.
- All references to WynBtn.H, WynBtn.DLL, etc. may be removed.
-
- 2) ClickDlg.DLL no longer requires BWCC.DLL. This was a minor fix, but a
- major annoyance, and had only been there in the interests of getting
- v1.0 out to people. Again, Setup uses BWCC.DLL, and beyond that, unless
- you are a Borland programmer, you may remove it.
-
- 3) DBWin was run against ClickBar.DLL and ClickDlg.DLL, and all error
- messages were cleared. This necessitated a change to Testclik.C, which
- is documented in Addenda.Doc.
-
- 4) End User Registration was updated for Windows 3.1 developers, and made
- much easier to use. Again, reference Addenda.Doc.
-
- 5) Single-image bitmaps are now used for all bound buttons with the exception
- of the VCR buttons which change color. This means a smaller DLL, and in
- the case of custom buttons, a smaller executable. Custom buttons will have
- to be altered as detailed in Addenda.Doc.
-
- 6) WynApse Compuserve ID was wrong in a few places in the documentation and
- on-screen. This has been fixed, and also is shown when files are
- extracted. The correct CIS ID is: 72251,445. This is monitored on a
- daily basis.
-
- 7) Toolbar.zip from Windows/DOS Developer's Journal has been added to the
- diskette. To go with it is Clickin.zip a subclassing toolbar using
- clickbar to produce a toolbar in a third-party application that does
- not have one already. This program is supplied as-is for the user to
- modify/use/beat-up/throw-away, etc. I would ask that if any major
- improvements are made to the subclass to please email me the code.
-
- 7) PKUNZIP v2.04c is included on the ship disk becuase I am now using
- that version. If room permits, I will include the complete
- PKZIP204C.EXE shareware file. Please support PKWare and register
- their fine product.
-
- 8) The first three issues of Windows Programmer's Journal have been placed
- on the diskette, also. This is a downloadable, free magazine for the
- free interchange of Windows programming information for all levels of
- Windows programmers. If you can't find future copies of this, feel free
- to contact WynApse.
-
-
-
- Version 2.0 is now expected to contain the following:
-
- 1) upgraded toolbar placement (e.g. MDI applications)
-
- 2) Additional toolbar placement (e.g. vertical/horizontal, position)
-
- 3) 32x32 icon-size 16-color profile for building launchers
-
- Possible future changes:
-
- a) Drag-and-Drop to bar
-
- b) Macro Assignments to buttons through the DLL
-
- c) Scroll-bar of buttons
-
-
- Thanks for supporting WynApse and the Shareware concept. As always, the
- next significant revision will be reduced to current registrants.
