╘═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
1. Files in Archive:
--------------------
The EXPAND52.ZIP, .LZH, .ARJ or whatever extension has won the
compression war, archive should contain the following files:
EXPAND.LIB The Expand library, for Clipper 5.01, version 2.00
Just link in with your Clipper 5.01 applications.
EXPAND.NG The Norton Guide to Expand. Use NG.EXE or PRINTDOC.EXE to
read the information contained herein.
EXPAND.KEY A file containing the keywords of the library, could also
be used with Snap!, when a Clipper 5 version of it becomes
available.
EXPDEMO.PRG A program demonstrating most of Expand's features,
See "Quick Compile" for Compiler instructions.
PRINTDOC.EXE A program to generate the documentation in ASCII
Form, ready to be printed (more later).
EXPAND.ANS A little ANSI file, just type it to the console with
ANSI.SYS installed. funny.
READ.ME This file.
2. Expand documentation:
------------------------
The Expand archive does not contain ready to be printed documentation,
but don't panic!..
For those of you using Norton Guides, a guide is supplied for convenience.
Normal, ready to be printed, documentation has been left out on purpose, to
save space. A program is supplied instead. PRINTDOC.EXE will read EXPAND.NG
and generate EXPAND.DOC, which in turn can be printed. PRINTDOC assumes
66 lines/page, if you want 72 lines/page, execute "PRINTDOC 7" instead. Once
the documentation generated, you can safely delete PRINTDOC.EXE.
3. Getting the Latest version of Expand:
----------------------------------------
The latest version of the Expand library can always be F'requested at the
Clipper Developers Group Netherlands (of which I am a member) Bulletin Board.
The CDGN BBS (Also known as Hekom BBS) has FidoNode 2:500:223. Use magic
name EXPAND for latest version of Expand for Clipper 5.01 and Magic name
EXPAND87 for latest version of Expand for Clipper '87.
4. Licence Agreement:
---------------------
Read the "Licence" Part of the documentation for full details on the
license. The Expand library for Clipper 5.0 is now distributed as a form
of Shareware. When used for personnal use only, no license is required,
otherwise, a registration is required. You can register in three different
ways, depending on the fact if you want (parts of) sources. Please read
the section "Registration" when you consider registering. Note that you
now already have a fully functionnal version of the Library, no items
have been left out (as is required by the term 'share-ware').
5. "Quick" Compile:
-------------------
If you want a Quick demonstration of the main features of the Expand library,
Compile and Link EXPDEMO.PRG as follows:
>Clipper EXPDEMO
>RTlink FI EXPDEMO LI EXPAND [/pll:base50] [verbose]
The items in brackets are optionnal.
Then, Run the Demo:
>EXPDEMO
Note that you need Clipper 5.01.
Expdemo does not Show all the features, but quite a lot of them are well
illustrated.
Run:
>EXPDEMO /bw
When you are running on a Color system with Monochrome screen, or when
using a LapTop.
6. Additionnal files:
---------------------
The Expand library sports some functions whose' usage is not demonstrated in
the Demo programs supplied in the archive. Those are mainly the EGA/VGA
specific routines. Look out for the CLPFONTS archive, it contains a set of
EGA/VGA fonts and some extra demo programs for Expand. Those files were
not included in the normal archive, as that would increase it's size too
much. The additionnal files are included in the disk when registering,
of course.
