INSTALLING VBOFFICE:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install VBOffice, create a directory for the program and unzip the
files in this zip file to it. If you have a BETA TEST version of
VBOFFICE already installed, just unzip these files into the VBOFFICE
directory you previously created. That will update your installation
without changing your configuration. If you have received these files on
diskette, you will also have a zipped copy of VBRUN300.DLL which
VBOffice requires to run.
If you wish you can move the VBX and DLL files to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM
directory, but it's not required.
REGISTERING VBOFFICE ON COMPUSERVE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can use the Shareware Registration database on CompuServe to
instantly register your software. GO SWREG and search on Registration
ID #1262. The $40.00 cost will be charged to your CompuServe account.
I'll recieve instant notification of your registration and will e-mail
you your registry code.
REGISTERING VBOFFICE BY MAIL
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To register VBOffice by mail, open REGISTER.WRI using Windows Write and
fill in the information there. Print out the form and mail it to
Marquette Computer Consultants with a check for $40 US. Your registry
code will be mailed or faxed to you upon receipt.
DESCRIPTIONS FOR THOSE WHO STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
VBOffice is a VB add-in which enhances the VB programming environment.
VBO provides popup windows which give quick access to program, help,
document and VBX Files. VBOffice also features advanced code management
functions, extended undo via the Clipboard Monitor and API call
evaluation assistance with the Handle List and SpyMode.
You can use VBOffice automatically by replacing all calls to VB.EXE with
calls to VBOFFICE.EXE in all Program Manager entries. If VB is
correctly installed, VBOffice can launch it when it starts; it can also
load the project you specify on the command line.
REVISION HISTORY...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1.03 Maintenance Release 09/16/93. Modified popup windows to be
modeless dialog children of Visual Basic using a newly
discovered technique. This speeds up the program overall, since
all forms are hidden more quickly when VB is minimize/d and the
old code to do this no longer takes up system time. File
Import/Export routines now return to original directory upon
completion (no more "disk not in drive A:" message). Fixed
problem reading captions with commas. HotKey settings are now
correctly saved between sessions.
1.01 Maintenance Release: 09/05/93. Fixed bug which crashed VBOffice
when the buttonbar was on the bottom of the screen and a popup window
was loaded for the first time. Code now correctly positions all
popup windows with default values when first loaded, regardless
of the position of the button bar. Also repaired problem which
occurred when loading more than one HLP file at a time.
1.00 Initial release: 09/01/93.
