This archive contains the following:
README.NOW
This is the file you are now reading.
ENQHELP.EXE
This is the stand alone hypertext help engine. It allows you to
read our context-sensitive documentation from either DOS, or as
a transfer program! The program will even read the function name
under the blinking cursor and search for that function in the
documentation, giving you a context-sensitive function reference
from your compiler or text editor. Refer to the documentation for
more information.
ENQHELP.DOC
This is the documentation on how to both use the engine, as well
as write your own help files.
UW_HELP0.HLP - UW_HELP6.HLP
These are the context-sensitive hypertext help files, used by our
new help engine. It is a complete, context-sensitive manual for
UltraWin.
PRT_HELP.EXE
This is a small file that will take any of our context-sensitive
hypertext help files and convert them to plain ASCII. All
formatting and hypertext references are stripped out. You may
redirect output to create an ASCII file. For example, to convert
UW_HELP0.HLP to ASCII, type "PRT_HELP UW_HELP0.HLP > UW_HELP0.TXT".
TCKBD.COM
This is a tiny TSR that keeps a copy of the last cursor coordinates.
This is only needed for those of you which wish to setup the
ENQHELP.EXE program as a transfer program from your editor, as many
editors hide the cursor before calling a transfer program.
UW.H, UW_GLOBX.H, UW_KEYS.H, UW_PROTO.H, UW_DBG.H
These are the header files for UltraWin. All you need to do is
include the UW.H file, all the rest are automatic!
UW_DEMO.EXE, UW_DEMO.C, 8x14ICON.FNT
The UltraWin Demo program. Run this program to get a general idea
of UltraWin features and capabilities. Full source is included
so you can cut and paste any portion you would like to use into
your own programs.
UW_TUT1.C, UW_TUT2.C, UW_TUT3.C, UW_TUT4.C, UW_TUT5.C, UW_TUT6.C,
UW_TUT7.C, UW_TUT8.C, UW_TUT9.C, UW_TUT10.C TUTOR.HLP
These files belong to the new UltraWin tutorial series. This
series of small programs will give you the best start on getting
the most out of UltraWin, and getting up to speed on the library
functions.
SHADOW.C
A small file showing how to do shadowed windows with UltraWin.
STR_DEMO.C
A useful demonstration of UltraWin's powerful new data entry
capabilities.
UWTSD.LIB
The small model Source Trace library for Turbo/Borland C, under the
normal "C" compiler (.C files). Specify this library in your
project while developing your application and let the new Source
Trace features work for you to eliminate those nasty bugs.
UWTS.LIB
The small model production library for Turbo/Borland C, under the
normal "C" compiler (.C files). Specify this library in your
project for the final production version of your program.
UWMSD.LIB
The small model Source Trace library for Microsoft C.
UWMS.LIB
The small model production library for Microsoft C.
_____________________________________________________________________________
VERY IMPORTANT!!!
To keep the size of this archive file down to a reasonable size, we have
included the small model libraries only for Turbo/Borland C and Microsoft
C. If you are programming in Turbo C++, Borland C++, Microsoft C++ or
Zortech C/C++, you can obtain the rest of the libraries from our BBS
or most major online services. This keeps you from paying for download
time for libraries you don't need!
If you like UltraWin, be sure to take a look at InTUItion, UltraWin's
companion product that implements a complete user interface! Dialog
boxes, pick lists, menus, and more are a snap with InTUItion. InTUItion
also gives you a fully functioning file selector, a linkable
context-sensitive hypertext help engine, and a powerful dialog / menu /
interface construction program (the TUICP) that lets you interactively
design your interface. The TUICP can generate linkable dialogs and menus
and even write the source code for you. Best of all the tools and small
model libraries for InTUItion are free!
If you don't have access to one of the major online services, you can
call our own BBS. The BBS is also a good place to interact with other
users and get the latest on our products. All the latest tools and
libraries are also available for download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
at speeds up to 9600 baud.

ORDERING INFORMATION
To order UltraWin and/or InTUItion, simply mail a check or money order
for $99.95 for UltraWin, $199.90 for both UltraWin and InTUItion, to the
address at the top of this file.
For $199.90 you get the large model libraries for all the Borland C and
C++ compilers as well Zortech C/C++ and Microsoft C/C++, and complete
source code for not only the UltraWin and InTUItion libraries, but also
for the TUICP, the UltraWin Font Editor and the EnQue Hypertext Help
Engine. We also ship a comprehensive laser printed manual bound in a
handsome vinyl 3-ring binder. This format makes it very easy to
incorporate your own notes, or future updates to the manual.
For $99.95 you get UltraWin with complete source, the stand alone
UltraWin Font Editor and EnQue Hypertext Help Engine, and the manual.
Both the $99.95 and $199.90 price also give you access to free upgrades
via the EnQue BBS.
Considering the cost of tools that do anything close to what we do, our
price is dramatically low. You will pay anywhere from $300 - $1000 to get
tools of similar quality, and even then they will probably not be able to
do everything UltraWin and InTUItion can do. Then add our policy of
letting you use the small model libraries and the full-blown tools for
free, and you have a combination that lets you really test-drive our
software before you buy it, NOT just look at some demo. I don't know how
many times that we as programmers have ordered a package to find out it
doesn't live up to its billing, or it's so bug-laden that it's nearly
useless -- another couple of "c-notes" down the drain. We want to be
different and innovative. We feel that the users that do not purchase the
package, because the small model is enough for them to get by, will be
outweighed by those that appreciate our policy and send in their order to
receive full source, printed manual, and support!
