Message Box Master v2.0 ReadMe
===============================
Message Box Master is a message box creation add-in for Visual Basic 5.0 that supports
all of VB's message box arguments and gives you multiple options for formatting the
code generated.
Message Box Master (MBM) Files
===============================
If you have the complete .zip archive file, you should have the following files when
unzipped:
MBM.dll The working part of MBM
MBMInstall.exe A Q&D install program for MBM
MBMRemove.exe A Q&D uninstall program for MBM
MBM.hlp MBM's online help file
MBMReadme.txt This file
If you are missing any files, please notify whomever you got the file from that they
have an incomplete .zip file. Drop me an e-mail and I'll send you the complete file
if something's missing.
Installation
=============
To install Messsage Box Master, unzip the archive to the folder you want MBM to live
in. All of the MBM files must be in the same folder for everything to work properly.
After unpacking, run MBMInstall.exe. This program will register the .dll with RegSvr32
and will add MBM to the VBAddIn.ini file. I do assume, though, that VBAddIn.ini is in
the C:\Windows folder and that RegSvr32.exe is in the C:\Windows\System folder.
After running install, start VB and select the Add-In Manager from the Add-Ins Menu and
activate MBM.
Read through the Help file for details on MBM's options and use.
Removing MBM
=============
Should you decide you don't want MBM, run MBMRemove.exe. This program will unregister
the .dll with RegSvr32 and will delete MBM from the VBAddIn.ini file. You can then
delete the MBM* files from the folder you put them in during installation.
All of the MBM filenames begin with MBM so that they will be grouped together in
whatever folder you put them in.
Compatibility
==============
Message Box Master is a 32-bit ActiveX DLL that was written with and for Visual
Basic 5.0 under Windows 95 and is known to be compatible with that combination.
Since there is no registry usage, Message Box Master should also run under Windows NT.
I'm not able to test under 32-bit Visual Basic 4.0 and can't say whether MBM will
run in that environment.
Distribution
=============
Message Box Master is shareware and Copyright (c) 1998 by Gary L. McLaughlin and
Hollowpoint Software Systems and all commercial rights are reserved.
Feel free to pass around, upload or otherwise distribute the unregistered version of
MBM so long as whatever means of distribution used is free.
All I ask is that you do so with the complete archive file so that the .dll, help,
readme and install/uninstall files stay together.
