** MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION **
1. To print the manual at the DOS prompt enter:
PRNT ( For most printers )
LAZPRNT ( For HP compatible lazer printers )
PRNT.BAT or LAZPRNT.BAT and WIND_REZ.DOC must be in the
current drive and directory.
2. To print the quick reference guide ( enhanced version
only ) at the DOS prompt enter;
PRNT2 ( For most printers )
LAZPRNT2 ( For HP compatible lazer printer )
PRNT2.BAT or LAZPRNT2.BAT and QUICKREF.DOC must be in
the current drive and directory.
3. To run the demonstration program at the DOS prompt, enter:
DEMO
4. NOTES FOR BASIC 7.+ USERS. ( ENHANCED VERSION )
Do not use unnamed COMMON blocks in your program. If
your program requires unnamed COMMON blocks see the
section "Important notes for BASIC 7.0/7.1 users." in
the documentation.
There are two sets of libraries for BASIC 7.+. Depend-
ing on which version of BASIC you have, you will receive
the following.
- PDSALL71.LIB, PDSALL71.QLB, PDSNER71.LIB and
PDSNER71.QLB are for BASIC 7.1
- PDSALL70.LIB, PDSALL70.QLB, PDSNER70.LIB and
PDSNER70.QLB are for BASIC 7.0
The libraries were produced from within the QBX environ-
ment. QBX compiles using the far string option. You
must use the far string ( /Fs ) option if you compile
outside the QBX environment.
If you are using BASIC 7.0 and upgrade to BASIC 7.1 you
can create your own compatible library by loading QBX with PDSASM.QLB ( QBX/L PDSASM ). Load all of the basic files required by WINDOWS R-E-Z.
DIRWIND.BAS
INPTWIND.BAS
PULLDOWN.BAS
SCROLL.BAS
WIND_REZ.BAS
PDSMEM.BAS
Make the library from within the QBX environment. The
library will contain all routines and have error detection.
5. NOTE FOR BASIC 7.0 USERS. ( UNENHANCED VERSION )
Do not use unnamed COMMON blocks in your program. The
enhanced version of WINDOWS R-E-Z provides the ability
to use unnamed COMMON blocks.
The library, PDSUNEN.LIB, contains object files made
from the BASIC 7.1 compiler. While making an executable
file from within QBX, the following message will appear.
LINK WARNING L4051: BRT71EFR.LIB: CANNOT FIND LIBRARY
Enter new file spec:
Press ENTER or RETURN. The file, BRT71EFR.LIB is not
required.
6. NOTE FOR USERS OF UNENHANCED VERSION FOR QUICKBASIC AND
BASIC 7.+.
Only two Multi-field input screens are permitted with a
maximum of 25 fields per screen in the unenhanced version
of WINDOWS R-E-Z.
** NEW FEATURES IN VERSION 4.20 **
( See WIND_REZ.DOC for details. )
New - Version 4.20
- Pulldown windows may be displayed at selectable locations
on the display. Previous versions restricted the menubar
to row one.
- The ESC key may be optionally used to exit the multi-field
input routine MULTINPT.
- Input routines accept dates from 01/01/1901 to 12/31/2099.
Previous versions restricted the the date from 01/01/1980
to 12/31/2099.
- Input routines may use one of ten date formats;
DD/MM/YYYY DD/MM/YY
DD-MM-YYYY DD-MM-YY
MM/DD/YYYY MM/DD/YY
MM-DD-YYYY MM-DD-YY
MM.DD.YYYY MM.DD.YY
Compatibility issues:
NOTE: To assure compatibility with earlier versions replace
the declare statements in programs written with earlier
versions with the DECLARE.INC file included with version
4.20. This will assure argument matching. Failure to do
this can result in the program crashing.
The following routines were changed in version 4.20 and
are not compatible with earlier versions. Minor program
revisions are necessary for programs incorporating
earlier versions. ( SEE WIND_REZ.DOC FOR DETAILS )
- SETWIND has an additional argument which specifies the
date format for input routines.
- SETPULL has three additional arguments. These arguments
set the menubar's top row and left column position and the
menubar's width.
- INPTWIND has an additional argument. It is used to deter-
mine if the RETURN key or ESC key exited the routine.
- MULTINPT has an additional argument. It is used to deter-
mine which key exited an autoexit field.
The following routine was changed in version 4.10 and
is not compatible with earlier versions. Minor program
revisions are necessary for programs incorporating
earlier versions. ( SEE WIND_REZ.DOC FOR DETAILS )
- SETWIND has an extra argument to disable the scroll window
direction arrow.
- After a window is made or saved it must be deleted via
RSTRWIND or DELWIND before the number assigned to the window
can be used by again MAKEWIND or SAVEWIND. This prevents a window from being accidently "made over itself". Failure
to delete a window before using the window number again
will result in an ERROR 8 - WINDOW PRE-EXISTS.
The following routines were changed in version 4.00/.01 and
are not compatible with earlier versions. Minor program
revisions are necessary for programs incorporating
earlier versions. ( SEE WIND_REZ.DOC FOR DETAILS )
- GETANS, PULLDOWN, and INPTWIND have an extra argument
for border designation.
- SETWIND now has five argument designating windowing
speed, default sound, window shadow color, high intensity
display for PULLDOWN and SCRLWIND, and the type of decimal
point ( period or comma for some non-USA users ).
- SCRLWIND no longer has a argument for the window number
as it acts upon the active window.
- SETINPT has an extra argument specifying the color of the
active field for MULTINPT.
- FINDDIR has one less argument as it no longer has to
place the directory listing in a string.
- SETSOUND is no longer required due to changes in SETWIND.
- CHNGFAST is no longer required due to changes in SETWIND.
- FILLDIR is no longer required due to changes in FINDDIR.
- The argument designating the code ( CODE$ ) for INPTWIND
has changed.
- The argument designating the type of directory search
( TYPE$ ) in FINDDIR has changed.
The following routines were changed in version 3.60 and
are not compatible with earlier versions. Minor program
revisions are necessary for programs incorporating
earlier versions. ( SEE WIND_REZ.DOC FOR DETAILS )
- PULLDOWN has an extra argument w
