- Description of E Toolkit documentation and samples.
- ===================================================
-
-
- What is the E Toolkit?
- ---------------------
- The E Toolkit is the powerful editor toolkit used to build EPM (the OS/2
- 2.x Enhanced Editor), LaMail (the OS/2 TCP/IP mail handler) and other
- applications. This package includes documentation and sample code for
- version 5.51 of the toolkit. (OS/2 2.0 shipped with version 5.50; OS/2
- 2.1 shipped with version 5.51, which is also in the EPMBBS package which
- should be available the same place you got this package).
-
-
- Important disclaimer:
- ---------------------
- The sample code for using the current version (5.51) of the E Toolkit and
- its Enhanced Multi-Line Edit control (E-MLE) is being made available for
- the benefit of those who need to use it now. It is being released "as-is",
- with no promise of support, enhancement, or bug fixes. In addition, you
- should be aware that we are currently working on a new, cleaner, API
- for the next major update to EPM, which is not necessarily compatible
- with the one used in this package.
-
- In mentioning the "next major update", we are not guaranteeing that this
- will ever be released outside of IBM. (That is not a decision that we can
- make.) We are currently developing EPM 5.60, which includes long line
- support, pop-up menus, and much more, and EPM 6.00, which is essentially
- a 32-bit version of EPM 5.60.
-
- If you have a need to develop on top of the newer E-MLE, then please send
- a note to Gennaro Cuomo (gcuomo at watson.IBM.com) describing why you need
- it. This will help us demonstrate demand for the new code, and *might*
- get you on our beta-test list.
