- 1. Welcome!
- -----------
-
- Welcome to version 3.00 of the Expand library for Clipper 5.01.
-
- This file contains some last minute notes and some important
- remarks about this library, it's usage and the conditions of usage.
-
- If you received this Library via colleagues, a friend, a shareware
- distribution centre or by downloading from a Bulletin Board System,
- you (should) have the Evaluation Version of the Library. See documentation
- for more details. There is a difference between Evaluation and Commercial
- versions of the Library.
-
- The package is named EXPAND53 on Bulleting Boards and other means of
- distribution, which stands for Version 3 of the Expand library for Clipper 5.
-
- 2. Files in Archive or on Disk:
- -------------------------------
-
- The EXPAND53 archive or the disk labeled Expand v3.00 for Clipper 5.01
- should contain the following files:
-
- EXPAND.LIB The Expand library, for Clipper 5.01, version 3.00
- Just link in with your Clipper 5.01 applications.
-
- EXPAND.NG The Norton Guide to Expand. Use NG.EXE or the NGUTILs to
- read the information contained herein. There is no written
- documentation (although it could be printed using functions
- from the library), this, because using the Electronic version
- is quite easier and handier. This allows changes, updates,
- easier distribution and it spares paper.
-
- EXPAND.LNK A Linker response File for the Blinker (tm) Users.
-
- XPDEMO.ARJ This archive contains the demonstration program. It's
- stored in Compressed form by means of the ARJ archiver.
- Retrieve the files by executing ARJ X XPDEMO at the DOS prompt.
-
- XPNGDEMO.ARJ This archive contains utilities concerning the Norton Guides
- routines of the Expand Library.
-
- EXPAND52.ARJ An upgrade module for the users of older versions of the Expand
- library. See "Release Notes" in the Documentation for more
- details.
-
- ORDER.DOC A file that might be used to order the Library, print it for
- more information.
-
- READ.ME This file.
-
- The distribution disk might also contain:
-
- VGAFONTS.ARJ This file contains some VGA Fonts for use with the
- XPloadFont() function. This file will probably not be
- included in the Expand Archive, as to not increase its
- size too much. You may find this file seperately on a BBS too.
-
- 3. Expand documentation:
- ------------------------
-
- All the documentation is grouped into a Norton Guide file, to be read
- by the Norton Guides program as supplied with Clipper 5.01. If you want
- to print the documentation, use the NGPRINT.PRG program. The NGPRINT
- program read's EXPAND.NG (using Expand Library features), and prints
- it to a printable file, EXPAND.PRN.
-
- 4. Getting the Latest version of Expand:
- ----------------------------------------
-
- The latest version of the Expand Library can always be F'requested at the
- Clipper Developers Group Netherlands (of which I am a member) Bulletin Board.
- The CDGN BBS (Also known as Hekom BBS) has FidoNode 2:500/223. Use magic
- name EXPAND for latest version of Expand for Clipper 5.01 and Magic name
- EXPAND87 for latest version of Expand for Clipper '87. Note that only
- Evaluation versions of the Library are (and may be) placed on BBS's. If
- you want some information about purchasing the Library, read the documentation
- or contact me by Fax or Phone.
-
- You can also call this BBS or leave NetMail for me at this adres. It is not
- my BBS, but I'm a regular user of it. Although the Mail doesn't always get
- through. Therefore, the Fax would be the preferred medium. But Mail and/or
- phoning is Ok, though.
-
- 5. Licence Agreement:
- ---------------------
-
- Read the "Licence" Part of the documentation for full details on the
- license. The Expand library for Clipper 5.01 is distributed on BBS's
- in an Evaluation version. If you are going to effectively use the Library,
- you must purchase the Library. You can purchase the Library in three different
- ways, depending on the fact if you want (parts of) sources. Please read
- the section "Registering" when you consider purchasing Expand. Note that you
- now already have a fully functionnal version of the Library, no items
- have been left out, as is required by the definition of "shareware".
-
- 6. "Quick" Compile:
- -------------------
-
- If you want a Quick demonstration of the main features of the Expand library,
- Compile and Link to XPDEMO.EXE as follows:
-
- >XPRTL
-
- if you use .RTlink, or
-
- >XPBLI
-
- if you use Blinker.
-
- Note that you must first extract the Files from the XPDEMO.ARJ archive.
- It is a good idea to place them in a separate directory.
