- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. README for the IPF Editor ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- You have received an evaluation version of the IPF Editor for OS/2 2.x. The
- IPF Editor helps you create both INF files for viewing with the VIEW.EXE and
- HLP files for use with C or C++ applications you develop.
-
- This evaluation version lets you try the IPF Editor 25 times (i.e. you can
- start the IPF Editor 25 times before your evaluation period expires).
-
- You can get details on using the IPF Editor in the IPFEDOC.INF file supplied
- with this evaluation kit. The IPF Editor also has complete online help
- available for your convenience. You may also wish to reference the OS/2 2.x
- Toolkit's sample documents and reference.
-
- A sample project is supplied for your examination showing how to create online
- help for C program. You may load the project file using the "File Select
- Project" and selecting the project IPFEDEMO.HPR in the directory
- \IPFEDIT\CSAMPLE.
-
- A Second sample online document project is also available in the
- \IPFEDIT\DSAMPLE subdirectory. Use the "File Select Project" and select the
- project SHAKESPR.HPR to load the project. Feel free to change the source and
- use the "Compiler Compile project..." to test out the usage of various IPF
- commands. Please do not place altered files into the IPFEDIT.ZIP that you
- downloaded.
-
- You can use the "File New" option to help you create single file online
- documents and compile them using the "Compiler Compile document file..."
- option.
-
- Please view the LICENSE.INF to see the license agreement you will need to agree
- to before using this evaluation version of the IPF Editor.
-
- Note: You must view the PCS IPF Editor License Agreement and agree to it to
- legally use the IPF Editor program.

- form IPFEDIT.REG (please print it and fill it out). To order by phone, please

- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Reporting Problems ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- If you discover any problems with the IPF Editor or have suggestions for
- changes to the IPF Editor please feel free to contact us. Currently, the
- problems (and solutions) listed below have been reported and may be addressed
- in future versions of the IPF Editor:
-
- o The OS/2 2.01 Service Pack version of Trident video drivers can cause a
- protection error when the IPF Editor's dialog boxes are dragged across the
- editing window (and therefore causing a repaint of the editing window and
- dialog box). This is an problem with the Service Pack's Trident video
- driver. Updating to OS/2 2.1 or changing video drivers solves this problem.
-
-
- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Using the Supplied C Application Help Sample ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- The Sample C application requires C Set/2 or C Set/2++ to build correctly. You
- may be able to create it correctly with other OS/2 2.x compatible compilers but
- we haven't tested it with any other compilers.
-
- To load the help project for the sample program use the "File Select Project"
- menu item and select the "CSAMPLE\IPFEDEMO.HPR" file (help project files have
- the extension .HPR).
-
- When you select a project file you will see a warning stating that the
- unregistered version does not automatically load definitions from C include
- files. The registered version automatically loads these definitions. You will
- need to use the "Application Load definitions include file" menu option.
-
- You can also create a Workframe/2 project to build this.
-
-
