- Part 1 - What is EasyNet?
- --------------------------------------------
-
- EasyNet/OCX is a custom control which allows to develop QUICKLY
- an application that needs to manage a network diagram (workflow,
- data base diagram, organigrams, communication networks, state
- transition diagrams, etc...).
-
- * Drawing can be made interactively or programmaticaly.
- * You may move, resize, stretch each item.
- * You may associate user data to each item
- * You may navigate in the network diagram.
- * Distinct pictures, colors, draw styles for each item.
- * Multi-selection, multi-line wordwrapped text, metafile support,
- zooming, + many other features.
- * Many properties, events and methods allow you to "customize" your
- diagramming application.
-
- EasyNet/OCX programmatic interface is described in EZNET.HLP file.

- Part 2 - Version Informations
- ------------------------------------------
-
- **************************************************************
- IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT IMPORTANT
-
- For those who have used the version 1.0, you have a change to
- make in each of your VB4 form (.frm file) that uses an EasyNet
- control: you will have to use a text editor like Notepad in
- order to display the text of each of those .frm files and
- replace the string "Eznet16Lib" by the string "EasynetLib".
- **************************************************************
-
-
- In 16 bits environment, use EZNET16.OCX.
- In 32 bits environment, use EZNET32.OCX.
-
- Loading problem
- ***************
-
- If you have problems to load EZNET32.OCX, it may be due
- to the fact that you have not the correct version of MFC40.DLL.
- You should have the version that is provided with Microsoft
- Visual VC++ 4.x.
-
- Other environments
- ******************
-
- This product has been tested under WIN95 and VB4 environment.
- The 32 bits version is working also under Visual C++ 4.x
- Tests in other environments haven't still been made!
- Note: all dimensions are given in twips.
-
- Version 1.1 enhancements
- ************************
-
- * new node shapes (triangular, hexagonal)
- * some bugs fixed:
- - SaveImage method didn't work in previous 32 bits version
- - Sometimes a bug occured when stretching a link in previous
- 16 and 32 bits version.
-
- Known problem
- **************
-
- * Without license file, a dialog box appears as a nag screen.
- This dialog box seems to cause GPF under certain conditions.
- You can reproduce that with demo sample under design time with
- VB4 32 bits. You close the 4 windows and then you reopen one
- with the Show menu. The nag screen is displayed and a GPF occurs
- after. If I replace this nag screen with a simple message box,
- the GPF occurs too. In my opinion, it may be a VB4 bug.
- Perhaps the problem will disappear with maintenance release
- of VB4.
- If you have the license file, the GFP disappears since the nag
- screen is not displayed. I recognize it is not a fair argument
- to make people register!

-
- ------------------------------------------
- Part 4 - Registration, Order Form, License
- ------------------------------------------
-
- The demo controls here are fully functional in design mode, but they
- will not work in an application compiled without license file.
- In the development environment, any attempt to use EasyNet/OCX without
- a license file will display a dialog box explaining that EasyNet/OCX
- is used without license.
- If you generate an EXE file with EasyNet/OCX but without a license
- file, then any attempt to use this EXE file will display also a dialog
- box explaining that it has been generated without license file and that
- the EasyNet control will not work.
- If you register, you will receive (usually within 2 business days
- from the registration date) a license file allowing you to
- compile applications that work properly with EasyNet.
-
- You may register directly via Compuserve in the
- Shareware Registration Forum (GO SWREG).
- SWREG number: 8738
- Price: $199
-
- See help file for all registration information, order form and
- license agreement.
