- 3DCTRL README.TXT
- VERSION 1.0b
-
- **** NOTE *****
- This will be the last maintenance release before DEVCON.
- There are a few more changes that will be made in the upcoming month,
- but 3DCTRL is very stable. If you encounter any problems, please
- e-mail me so they can be fixed asap.
- ***************
-
- Thank you for trying 3DCTRL. In the spirit of Ken Levy's GENSCRNX,
- I offer my efforts for 3DCTRL free of charge for most situations (if you
- wish to use 3DCTRL in a commercial application, please send me e-mail).
-
- More than 120 hours of development time went into the creation of 3DCTRL.
- It represents an area of FoxPro that I felt need subsantial improvement,
- and GENSCRNX provided the most effective way to solve the problem. For
- details of what 3DCTRL can accomplish, please read the 3DCTRL.TXT file
- included in this package.
-
- I have now created several drivers for GENSCRNX, most of which I have
- put on CompuServe free of charge. These have included:
-
- BRWX - Create an integrated browse automatically within a screen
- LASTOBJ - Creates a variable, _lastobj, which represents the object
- used prior to the currently-selected object
- FSCROLL - Create vertically-scrolling fields automatically.
-
- 3DCHECK - The precursor to 3DCTRL, although 3DCTRL was largely re-written.
-
- I am not including source code for this particular utility due to
- constraints placed on my at work (we can't have a competitor using
- my code!)
-
- However, source code is available for $20. You will receive all future
- source code for any updated versions as well.
-
- Final Note:
- -----------
- Because I am a developer of a commercial application, the company that I
- work for would frown on the idea of allowing this utility to be used in a
- competing product. For that reason, you must explicitly license 3DCTRL
- for each commercial application that your company develops. The version
- of 3DCTRL contained in this package adds a routine to the startup of the
- screen that will check for the existance of a certain file, and if it
- exists, will place a copyright notice onscreen for 15 seconds before
- continuing. I have no choice but to take this protective measure --
- without doing so, I would not be in a position to make 3DCTRL available.
- The filename that 3DCTRL checks for is bizarre enought that it should not
- exist under normal circumstances. You can avoid this extra overhead by
- signing the AGREE.TXT and mailing it to me with $20, at which time
- I will send you the source code without the additional checking. Alternately, you can
- remove the extra code from the screen.spr file...(heheheh).
-
- Again, thanks for trying 3DCTRL, and understanding the situation under
- which I have made it available to FoxPro developers.
