- This README.TXT file is part of the VB Generalized Printer
- routines from Unger Business Systems. These routines are
- copyrighted, and may only be used as part of your source if
- you register them. You may freely distribute these routines
- as part of your application, as long as your application is
- not primarily a substitute for these routines.
-
- You may also distribute this entire package as long as you do
- not receive any compensation for it. Naturally, anyone else
- who chooses to use the routines must register them.
-
- The following files should have been included in this package:
-
- GPRINTER.BAS - routines needed in your app
- VBG1.BAS - routines needed for the demo app
- APIGUIDE.DLL - a DLL which performs certain functions used here
- **
- VBGSAMP.EXE - the compiled demo app; this provides examples
- of how to use most of the functions
- ABORTFOR.FRM - a form needed in your app
- ABOUT.FRM - a form used by the demo app
- GPRINTER.FRM - a form which contains two controls needed by your
- app; you may eliminate this form if you put the controls
- on another form and change some code
- PRTSETUP.FRM - a form needed in your app
- VBG1.FRM - a form used by the demo app
- VBGSAMP.MAK - the VB make file for the demo app
- GENPRINT.TXT - an explanation of how to use these routines
- GPDECS.TXT - declarations needed for your app
- CBK.VBX - a "callback" VBX which allows you to abort the print
- job **
- README.TXT - this file
-
- ** IMPORTANT NOTE: The files APIGUIDE.DLL and CBK.VBX were
- provided with Daniel Appleman's book "Visual Basic Programmer's
- Guide To The Windows API". It is not clear to me how the
- copyright laws relate to these files. To be absolutely certain
- that you can legally use them, you probably should buy a copy of
- the book (which I very highly recommend anyway). It is available
- from Ziff-Davis Press.
-
- These routines have been tested, and as far as I know, they work
- as intended. However, no warranty is included, nor can Unger
- Business Systems be held liable for their use. You should
- thoroughly test any applications which use these routines!
-
- Special thanks to Daniel Appleman (see above) for the basic
- information which allowed me to write these routines. Again,
- I highly recommend his book.
-
- If you have comments or suggestions on how these routines might
- be improved, I would be very interested in hearing from you.
- While we can provide registration at our phone number above, I
- am not normally in the office since I work for outside clients.
- Technical assistance and comments can best be handled through
- fax or CompuServe. Since the price of these routines is only
- $20, I cannot afford to return long-distance calls unless you
- specify that it is OK to call you collect.
