This document contains a brief description of the contents of the IDC
Sampler, how to install it.
Files (with some restrictions that are specifically mentioned) may be
placed in any directory. It does not give complete information nor
does it describe every method of doing something. Those who are
familiar with Windows and Toolbook may wish to proceed differently.
More information on IDC will be found in the document SAMPLER.WRI.

Files marked with * are included to provide extra information about the
Pharmacology MCQ Bank. It is not possible to make any direct use of
them using the Sampler Kit.
This file (README.TXT) is included in the kit but is not packed with
any of the above sets.
--- NOTE ---------------------------------------------------------------
The Sampler and the Pharamcology MCQ Bank require the Toolbook Run-time
system which consists of the following files:
tbook.exe
tbkbase.dll
tbkcomp.dll
tbkutil.dll
tbkfile.dll
tbkwin.dll
tbknet.exe *
The one marked * is only necessary if you using a network.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing the Sampler
----------------------
It is assumed that TBOOK.EXE and its components are in a directory
which is mentioned in the PATH environment variable.
Copy the files to one or more directories of your choice. Files can
reside in whatever directories you wish. However there are some files
which must be kept together. These are:
COMM136.TBK with SAMPLER.TBK
and
SYS136.TBK with IDC_136.TBK
Create a new program item in a program group of your choice and complete
the dialogue as follows:
Description: IDC Sampler 1.0
Command Line: TBOOK path\SAMPLER.TBK
Working directory: anything
where 'path' gives the full path of SAMPLER.TBK and the working
directory should be on a disk for which you have write access to the
root directory. If there is no disk that meets this criterion then add
the following line to SAMPLER.INF before the line 'end'.
datapath=pathname
where pathname is the path of a directory to which you do have write
access.
If the filetype TBK is associated with TBOOK.EXE then TBOOK may be
omitted from the command line.
If you would like to use the icon provided then click on Change Icon and
browse till you find the file IDC136.ICO then exit from the dialogue
boxes by clicking OK.
Make sure SAMPLER.TBK and a copy of COMM136.TBK are in the same
directory.
--- ** NETWORK ** ------------------------------------------------------
If you are installing the IDC Sampler on a network drive then it is
important that any files which may be shared should be set to READ-ONLY.
In particular this applies to COMM136.TBK which is used several times
even if you are the only user working with SAMPLER.TBK.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Information File SAMPLER.INF must be edited to reflect the
organisation of your system (use Notepad or a nother text editor).
This is the file as supplied:
Information file for IDC Sampler
sampler:=c:\ken\idc\sampler
example:=c:\ken\idc\sampler
windows:=c:\windows
toolbook:=c:\toolbook
end
Change line 3 so that right hand side of the equals has the path to
the file EXAMPLE.TBK.
Change line 4 so that right hand side of the equals has the path to
the file WINHELP.HLP.
Change line 5 so that right hand side of the equals has the path to
the file PAGES.TBK. This file is supplied with Toolbook and is normally
found in the same directory as TOOLBOOK.EXE and TBOOK.EXE. (If this is
not the case then the link from SAMPLER.TBK to PAGES.TBK may prove
problematic and can only be fixed by editing RESOURCE.IDX and
recompiling SAMPLER.TBK -- this procedure is described in SAMPLER.WRI.)
Change line 6 so that right hand side of the equals gives a path which
is valid on your system and to which you have write access.
Open the Sampler by double clicking its icon. Using SAMPLER.TBK is
quite straightforward, but more information about using interactive
documents is given in SAMPLER.WRI.
--- WARNING ------------------------------------------------------------
Errors in the information file may lead to run-time errors and even the
possibility that the intereactive document may not function correctly.
The normal way to leave Toolbook in such circumstances would be to type
control-X. In any interactive document produced with IDC this is
password protected to ensure that the normal exit route is taken and
datafiles are correctly updated. The request for the password occurs
after control-X is typed and the password for SAMPLER.TBK is please.
It is possible to change the password for a particular interactive
document. The procedure is described in SAMPLER.WRI.
--- NOTE ---------------------------------------------------------------
The IDC and interactive documents supplied in this sampler are designed
for a VGA screen. If your screen is VGA then the pages will completely
fill the screen. If your screen has a resolution which is greater than
VGA then the page will be centred on your screen. If it has a lower
resolution that VGA then an error message will be generated. This last
case has not been tested. It is possible to create interactive
documents with pages which are either VGA size or SVGA size.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing the Compiler
-----------------------
This will allow you to re-compile the Sampler or compile a source
document of your own. (Ways of doing these are outlined in the document
SAMPLER.WRI in the section SOME THINGS TO TRY.
It is assumed that TOOLBOOK.EXE and all its components are in a
directory mentioned in the PATH environment variable.
Create a new program item in a program group of your choice and complete
the dialogue as follows:
Description: IDC 1.36
Command Line: TOOL
