INTRODUCTION

This directory contains a sample VB program to show a working example of 
DDE with the MultiView 2000 Terminal Emulator.

INSTALLATION

1. Create a working directory.

2. Copy all of the files from this directory to your working directory.

PROCEDURE

1. Load the MultiView 2000 terminal emulator.

   In the Session/Connection tab, enter the Remote system name.

   In the Session/Startup properties dialog, select 'auto-connect'.

   Create a new configuration file (.ZZT) by saving the file.

   Close the terminal emulator.

2. Load Visual Basic.

   Open the macro file m2000dde.mak.

   In the form frmsyste.frm, there are two references which need to be 
   amended to reference your UNIX system. Change both the references 
   "jsb.zzt" to the configuration file saved in step 1.

   In Procedure, "Sub cmdConnect_Click ()"  

StartApp("JSBTERM", "-s" + Chr$(34) & "c:\Program Files\MultiView 2000\jsb.zzt" & Chr$(34))

   In Function, CreateLink 

ctl.LinkTopic= "JSBTERM|" & Chr$(34) + "c:\Program Files\MultiView 2000\jsb.zzt" & Chr$(34)   

   Save the macro file.

3. Test the connection from within Visual Basic or re-make the
   executable M2000DDE.EXE and use the connection. 

If you find the program does not work, try adding the MultiView 2000
directory (usually "c:\Program Files\MultiView 2000") to the PATH 
statement.
