- GUI_LIB Library for Borland C++ and Turbo C++
- Version 1.0
- ****************************************************************************

- Congratulations! You have just received one of the finest graphics
- libraries available for use with Borland C++ and Borland's Turbo C++
- compilers. Using the GUI_LIB library will enable you to create
- graphic based applications to run in DOS just as easily as creating
- text based applications. The objects included in the library are all
- familiar objects, found in many commercially available software
- packages. They include pushbuttons, icons, text entry fields, and
- bitmaps to name just a few. Some of the features in this library are
- found nowhere else! Now you can harness the power and intuitiveness
- of the Graphic User Interface for use in your applications. From
- paint programs to databases, all of your programs can benefit from
- the use of graphics.

-
- Hopefully you will be reading this document before unzipping
- the two .zip files in this package, GUI_LIB.ZIP and ICONEDIT.ZIP. These
- are the instructions telling you in what directories to unzip these two
- files.
-
- I highly recommend installing these files to a hard disk. Make
- a subdirectory from the root directory and call it ICONEDIT. Do this with
- the following commands. From the C:> prompt type:
-
- cd\ <ENTER>
- md iconedit <ENTER>
-
- There, that's done. Now copy copy the file ICONEDIT.ZIP into the
- newly created ICONEDIT subdirectory and unzip it. To do this type:
-
- copy iconedit.zip c:\iconedit <ENTER>
-
- Change to the ICONEDIT subdirectory:
-
- cd\iconedit <ENTER>
-
- And type:
-
- pkunzip iconedit
-
- All of the files associated with this program will be unzipped into
- the ICONEDIT directory. All of these files must remain in the same directory
- for the program to function properly.
-
- After this is done repeat the above steps, only this time replace
- the word ICONEDIT with GUI_LIB wherever it appears.
-
- When finished you will have two new directories on your disk, one
- called ICONEDIT with the ICONEDIT program files in it, and another called
- GUI_LIB with the library files in it. There is a demo included that is in
- the GUI_LIB directory. Have fun, and happy coding!
