****************************************************************
mbmstarter.dll
****************************************************************

This may ONLY be distributed and used by programs that are fully 
FREEWARE, you are NOT ALLOWED to use this DLL with shareware, 
payware or commercial programs.

now that the legal part is out of the way, with this dll you can 
launch the mbm.dll without using mbm, of course you must have 
configured mbm correctly if you want this to work correctly. 
Once the mbm.dll is running you freeware program can access the 
sharedmemory like normal


the delphi code to start the dll is like this:

type
  TStartDLL = function : Integer; stdcall;
  TStopDLL  = function : Integer; stdcall;

var
  Form1: TForm1;
  CStartDLL : TStartDLL;
  CStopDLL  : TStopDLL;
  DLLHandle : THandle;

implementation

{$R *.DFM}

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  X       : Integer;
begin
  if DLLHandle=0 then
  begin
    DLLHandle:=LoadLibrary(PChar(ExtractFilePath(ParamStr(0))+'MBMStarter.dll'));
    if DLLHandle <> 0 then
    begin
      @CStartDLL:=GetProcAddress(DLLHandle, 'Start');
      X:=CStartDLL;
      if X <> 1 then Showmessage('Error Starting MBM.DLL, Error : '+IntToStr(X))
                else Showmessage('MBM.DLL Started') ;
    end
    else Showmessage('Error Loading StarterDLL');
  end;
end;

procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  if DLLHandle<>0 then
  begin
    @CStopDLL:=GetProcAddress(DLLHandle, 'Stop');
    CStopDLL;
    FreeLibrary(DLLHandle);
    DLLHandle:=0;
    Showmessage('Starter DLL unloaded');
  end;
end;

the mbm5starter.dll will always created a sub dir called dll and
copy the mbm.dll into this directory, this is needs to be done
and can not be avoided

as of version > 5.3.5.0 there are 2 new function:

function SetPrio(X : Byte) : Boolean; stdcall;
function SendPath(Path : Pchar) : Boolean;

With SetPrio you can increase the priority of the timer loop in
the dll, use the following table:

0: Idle
1: Lowest
2: Lower
3: Normal
4: Higher
5: Highest
6: TimeCritical

With SendPath you can send a new path to the dll in case it has 
no access to HKEY_CURRENT_USER, if you get a result of 0 back 
then this is your problem, send your new path BEFORE you do the
start function.  The path should contain the base directory of 
MBM.


****************************************************************
MBM5ST.exe
****************************************************************

Simple program that will start the MBMstarter.dll, ment for
those people who have problems starting the dll themselves. 
MBM5ST.exe has to be in the path as the MBMstarter.dll

When you start MBM5ST.exe it will start the MBMstarter.dll
when you start MBM5ST.exe for a 2nd time it will close itself
when you start MBM5.exe it will close MBM5ST.exe


****************************************************************
mbm 5.ini
****************************************************************

This is a clean version of the MBM 5.ini file, if you ever get
into troubles then simply close mbm and copy this OVER the 
version in the /data directory and you can start clean.


****************************************************************
