- What's Different from the DOS version
Bullet for Windows operates exactly like the DOS version except:
1. Windows version makes use of DPMI INT31/2 for translating collate table.
Essentially, Bullet for DOS and Bullet for Windows are functionally equivalent.
Bullet for DOS 16-bit is included with all orders of Bullet for Windows 16-bit.
Bullet is also available for 32-bit platforms (DOSX32, Win32/Win32s, and OS/2).
- Installation
Have all the archive files listed in !PACKLST in an empty directory
for the installation. Run WINSTALL.EXE from DOS. Follow the instructions,
and after a couple of keypresses, WBULLET.LIB is ready to go to work.
After a successful install, move the HLP file to your help files' directory;
the LIB to your LIB directory; the H to your INCLUDE directory; and the
samples to where you want to test them -- actually, you can put the files
where ever you want. The samples were compiled using the VC1.5 compiler,
and the QuickWin Windows library, but of course you can use Bullet with any
GUI program you create. Borland's EasyWin can also be used. Remember to
align any and all Bullet structures to byte-alignment. Watcom users will
need to make their own interface for the samples included.
Any problems with Bullet operating as expected should be directed to me at
the BBS Bullet conference, or through e-mail (see below). Read the
documentation first, though, since Bullet has been in use since 1992.
- Distribution
The shareware versions of Bullet, as well as all shareware versions of
my toolkits, may be included on any BBS (including, but not limited to,
Compuserve), and may be included on any shareware CD (including, but
not limited to, the SimTel collection). In other words, you are granted
the right to distribute the shareware versions of Bullet by any means
that you are able, provided that it is understood that any collection
made by you is for your distribution cost of the media, and is not in any
way directly related to Bullet.
- Product Support
Technical support in the use of Bullet is available for licensed
users at the 40th Floor BBS or by way of the Internet.
40th Floor BBS: +1(210)684-8065 N-8-1
Internet: support@40th.com
http://www.40th.com
Response time is usually within 24 hours by internet e-mail or if
you leave a message at the support BBS. Alternatively, you may
post a letter to
Cornel Huth/6402 Ingram Rd/San Antonio TX 78238/USA.
The latest 16-bit release of BULLET is available for download from
the BBS by registered users, or $5 by postal mail, or from the web site (ask
for instructions, if needed). Re-createable bugs are fixed immediately.
Report a new program bug and get the fix shipped free (include your mailing
address with your report, even if it has not changed). Past bugs are listed
at the BBS and the web site. Contact support if you have any questions or
requests.
