Bullet for Windows 1.10, Shareware version.
Topics covered: What's Different from the DOS version; Start-Up;
Distribution.
- What's Different from the DOS version
Bullet for Windows operates exactly like the DOS version with a few exceptions:
1. Null pointers to key buffers are usually detected and reported
2. More involved checking of the country collate table is done
3. A BASIC-ready is not provided, though a Visual Basic programmer need
only change a few of the Bullet for DOS BASIC version's .BI structures,
so as to exactly match the .H provided -- it _should_ work fine for VB,
but I haven't tested it.
Essentially, Bullet for DOS and Bullet for Windows are functionally equivalent.
Bullet for DOS is included with all orders of Bullet for Windows.
- Start-Up
Have all the archive files listed in !PACKLST.TXT 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. 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 tests until some MFC samples are available.
Any problems with Bullet operating as expected should be directed to me at
the BBS Bullet conference, or through e-mail (see PRODUCT SUPPORT in the
help file). Read the documentation first, though.
- 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.
