EnCom 1.60
(C) 1990-94 EnQue Software
EnQue Software
Route 1, Box 116C
Pleasant Hill, MO 64080
USA
24-hour BBS : (816) 353-0991
Fax / Voice : (816) 987-2515
Voice (Kevin) : (816) 540-5709
Voice (Boyd) : (816) 353-5561
On September 1, 1994, we will have a new BBS number. We plan to
redistribute all products and documentation with the new number after
that date. We will also record the new BBS number on the Fax/Voice
machine at (816) 987-2515 for your convenience.

This archive contains the following:
README.NOW
This is the file you are now reading.
ENQHELP.EXE
The stand alone version of our hypertext help engine. Run this
program to use the EnCom documentation supplied. Simply type
"ENQHELP ENCOM.HLP" and [Enter] from the DOS command line.
PRT_HELP.EXE
The help file print utility. Use this to print a copy of the
documentation to a printer, or redirect output to a file to get
a plain ASCII file without the commands, keywords, or color
information.
ENCOM.HLP
The first help file used by ENQHELP.EXE. This is an ASCII file
that can be loaded into a text editor or word processor, if you do
not wish to use our help engine. If you wish, you may use the
UltraWin PRT_HELP.EXE utility to print it without the commands,
keywords, or color information.
ENCOMREF.HLP
The second help file used by ENQHELP.EXE. This file contains the
function and macro reference for EnCom.
TCKBD.COM
Our little TSR for Turbo/Borland C users. This little program
can be used with the ENQHELP.EXE engine to give you context-
sensitive help on EnCom from within the Turbo/Borland C editor.
See ENCOM.HLP for details.
ENCOM.H, EN_DBG.H
The EnCom header files. Include ENCOM.H in any of your C files
that will be using the library functions or macros. ENCOM.H
automatically includes EN_DBG.H.
START.H, START.C
Your first program for EnCom. A simple terminal program that
shows that useful programming with EnCom can be only a couple
dozen lines of C code away!
COM_DEMO.EXE
A second program that shows off just a few features of the Encom
library! This program uses the small model library for both
EnCom and UltraWin (our windowing library).
COM_DEMO.C
The source code to COM_DEMO.EXE. If you wish to rebuild this
program for Turbo C, include in your project this C file,
UWTS.LIB and ENTS.LIB.
TD.EXE, TD.TUI, TD.DEF
This is the EnQue Terminal Demo Program. It is a full VT100
terminal program with ASCII/Xmodem/Ymodem upload and download.
This program showcases the three products UltraWin, InTUItion
and Encom, and serves as a great start for your own "ultimate
terminal program".
DIGITEST.C
This program demonstrates using EnCom with the DIGIBOARD, an
8-port PC card that gives you some major I/O!
ENTS.LIB
The EnCom library for Turbo/BorlandC under small model C.
Put this in your C project to use the EnCom library.
ENTSD.LIB
The small model Source Trace library for Turbo/Borland C, under
the normal "C" compiler (.C files). Specify this library in your
project while developing your application and let the Source
Trace features work for you to eliminate those nasty bugs.
ENMS.LIB
The small model production library for Microsoft C, compiled with
MSVC 8.00.
ENMSD.LIB
The small model Source Trace library for Microsoft C, compiled
with MSVC 8.00.
_____________________________________________________________________________
VERY IMPORTANT!!!
To keep the size of this archive file down to a reasonable size, we have
included the small model libraries only for Turbo/Borland C and Microsoft
C. If you are programming in Turbo C++, Borland C++, Microsoft C++ or
Zortech C/C++, you can obtain the rest of the libraries from our BBS
or most major online services. This keeps you from paying for download
time for libraries you don't need!
If you like Encom, be sure to take a look at UltraWin and InTUItion,
EnQue libraries that implement DOS text windowing and a complete user
interface! Dialog boxes, pick lists, menus, and more are a snap with
InTUItion. InTUItion also gives you a fully functioning file selector, a
linkable context-sensitive hypertext help engine, and a powerful dialog /
menu / interface construction program (the TUICP) that lets you
interactively design your interface. The TUICP can generate linkable
dialogs and menus and even write the source code for you. Best of all
the tools and small model libraries for UltraWin and InTUItion are free!
If you don't have access to one of the major online services, you can
call our own BBS. The BBS is also a good place to interact with other
users and get the latest on our products. All the latest tools and
libraries are also available for download 24 hours a day, 7 days a week,
at speeds up to 9600 baud.

ORDERING INFORMATION
To order EnCom, simply mail a check or money order for $99.95 to the
address at the top of this file.
For $99.95 you not only get the complete source code for the EnCom
library, but also full source to TD.EXE, our terminal demo program that
implements a complete VT100 terminal, as well as ASCII/Xmodem/Ymodem
upload and download. UltraWin and InTUItion are used for the text mode
windowing and interface, and provides a powerful example of a program that
takes advantage of the power of all three of these libraries. Also
included is our new ENQRBLD.EXE program, making rebuilding ANY model
library for Turbo/Borland C/C++, Zortech C/C++, or Microsoft C/C++ a
breeze. We also support Watcom C/C++ 32-bit flat model under the DOS
extender DOS4GW. Now you can write multi-megabyte programs without
worrying about the DOS 640K limit! We also ship a comprehensive laser
printed manual bound in a handsome vinyl 3-ring binder. This format makes
it very easy to incorporate your own notes, or future updates to the
manual.
Considering the cost of tools that do anything close to what we do, our
price is dramatically low. You will pay anywhere from $300 - $1000 to get
tools of similar quality, and even then they will probably not be able to
do everything UltraWin and InTUItion and EnCom can do. Then add our
policy of letting you use the small model libraries and the full-blown
tools for free, and you have a combination that lets you really test-drive
our software before you buy it, NOT just look at some demo. I don't know
how many times that we as programmers have ordered a package to find out
it doesn't live up to its billing, or it's so bug-laden that it's nearly
useless -- another couple of "c-notes" down the drain. We want to be
different and innovative. We feel that the users that do not purchase the
package, because the small model is enough for them to get by, will be
outweighed by those that appreciate our policy and send in their order to
receive full source, printed manual, and support!
