- READTUT - Tutorial Reading Utility.
-
-
- SUMMARY
- =======
-
- The READTUT sample builds a simple READTUT.EXE application that is used as
- the main utility for reading the online tutorial for the COM Tutorial
- Samples. The TUTORIAL.EXE utility, found in the main tutorial directory,
- is produced in this sample. To do this, a copy of READTUT.EXE is simply
- renamed to TUTORIAL.EXE and placed in the main tutorial directory where it
- provides the main tutorial entry for the entire series. This lesson shows
- the technique used by each tutorial sample to read the tutorial page for
- that sample from within the running sample. This lesson also shows a very
- simple Win32 EXE application that links to the APPUTIL library and uses
- utility functions in it. APPUTIL is linked to and used in this manner
- throughout the tutorial sample series.
-
- For functional descriptions and a tutorial code tour of READTUT, see the
- Code Tour section in READTUT.HTM. For details on the external user
- operation of READTUT, see both the Usage and Operation sections in
- READTUT.HTM. To read READTUT.HTM, run TUTORIAL.EXE in the main tutorial
- directory and click the READTUT lesson in the table of lessons. You can
- also achieve the same thing by clicking the READTUT.HTM file after
- locating the main tutorial directory in the Windows Explorer.
-
- In general, to set up your system to build and test the code samples in
- this COM Tutorial series, see the global TUTORIAL.HTM file for details.
- The accompanying makefile (MAKEFILE) is Microsoft NMAKE-compatible. To
- create a debug build, issue the NMAKE command in the Command Prompt
- window.
-
- Usage
- -----
-
- READTUT.EXE is an application that you can run directly from Windows or
- from the Command Prompt. READTUT can be run in one of the following forms.
-
- READTUT
- Launches the web browser to read file READTUT.HTM in the same
- directory as the executing READTUT.EXE. If READTUT.EXE is renamed to
- TUTORIAL.EXE then file TUTORIAL.HTM will be read in the same manner.
-
- READTUT MyHTMLFile.HTM
- Launches the web browser to read file MyHTMLFile.HTM in the main
- tutorial directory. This directory is assumed to be the parent of
- the directory where READTUT.EXE is executing.
-
- READTUT MySiblingDir\MyHTMLFile.HTM
- Launches the web browser to read MyHTMLFile.HTM in the MySiblingDir
- directory that is a sibling to the directory where READTUT.EXE is
- executing.
-
- READTUT //www.mycompany.com
- Launches the web browser with URL internet address
- http://www.mycompany.com.
