- Welcome to release 5.1 of the Unicorn Library. This version introduces
- menus to the library. This additional release occured so rapidly after
- the initial release in order to add the menus. It is not anticipated
- that an additional release will occur until about the end of the year
- ( 1988 ). This release should add a wealth of new features and functions
- to the existing library. Hopefully also a form design utility will be
- ready at that time. This will allow the user to define a form in an
- ASCII text file which will be used by the utility to actually generate
- the needed code. Also it is hoped that the ability to scroll windows
- up, down, right and left will also be ready at that time. The author
- is also planning to have the ability to read an ASCII text file into
- a window allowing the programmer to display any ASCII file in a screen
- window.

- Welcome to release 5.0 of the Unicorn Library. There are many changes
- from previous version and essentially this is a new library. The advent
- of graphics with both Turbo C and Microsoft C included with the compilers
- has resulted in the Unicorn Library changing directions. While the old
- C Tool Box and Unicorn Library ( with graphics ) will remain available,
- it is not anticipated that they will be updated further. For those with
- an interest in low level graphics the source code is useful and available.
-
- This new library is oriented towards data handling, screen handling, windows,
- and data entry forms. Only a portion of the over 300 functions are found
- in the demo programs which already have grown quite large. The library will
- continue to grow in the comming months as the author is far from done
- with the development. The next major release is anticipated in the first
- quarter of 1989 although minor release updates will occur in the meantime.
-
- The author uses several Seattle area boards listed below. The latest
- version should be found on them with the most likely being College Corner
- or Journey to Mars.
-
- We hope you find the library useful in your own programming efforts and if
- so you are encourged to register your copy. See register.doc for details
- and be assured your support will be highly appreciated.

- If you discover any bugs please let us know, it will be very appreciated
- by the author and other users in the future.

- When compiling programs with the library be sure to include /DMSC in
- your compile command for the Microsoft C versions. Without this
- definition the code will attempt to compile for Turbo C! If you are
- using Turbo C then be sure to compile without /DMSC but you must also
- have a library compiled with Turbo C. You may compile the library source
- code with Turbo C yourself or obtain the appropriate library from the
- author.
