- This is the source distribution disk for the WTWG windows
- programs, version 1.2. The source is archived in file WTWG.ZOO.
- Included on the disk is the public domain program ZOO.EXE.
- ZOO.EXE will 'extract' all the animals in the zoo.
-
-
- This is a windows/menus/mouse interface package, designed to run
- in either text or graphics modes, designed to be EASY to learn
- and use, small, and fast. It lacks some of the flash of the
- 'other' windows package, but is excellent for complex programs in
- which the interface should be a secondary component of the
- program (ie: performance before packaging). I am placing this
- package in the public domain.
-
-
- To install this source:
-
-
- 1) create a subdirectory where you want these files to go. (there
- are a LOT of small files, so keep them separate from other
- stuff). I use 'C:\TC\WINDOWS'
-
- ie: 1) from the C:\> prompt type
- CD \TC
- (or CD \MSC if you use microsoft C )
- 2) create a subdirectory. Type the following:
- MD WINDOWS
- 3) enter the new directory. Type:
- CD WINDOWS
-
- 2) copy this disk into the new subdirectory. type
- COPY A:*.*
-
- 3) unpack the zoo archive. Type the following:
- ZOO -EXTRACT WTWG *.*
-
- 4) for help with the zoo program, type:
- ZOO
-
- 5) you can delete the archive file if you like:
- ERASE WTWG.ZOO
- and you can delete the zoo program:
- ERASE ZOO.EXE
-
- Set up 1) your compiler to look in the appropriate directories
- for the #include headers and 2) your linker to look for the *.lib
- files. If you use TurboC or TurboC++, and you use the integrated
- environment, just check to 'OPTIONS' menu, compiler and linker
- submenus. If you use the command line versions, create a
- TURBOC.CFG file. For Microsoft C, this means a 'DOS ENVIRONMENT'
- variable. See WTWG.DOC for more details.
-
- Compile the utility programs MAKEHX.C, DIR2BAT.C and TXT2MCR.C
- first. The source code for these programs contains instructions
- for compiling them (comments near the top). The program DIR2BAT
- is required by further .BAT files in this package - compile it
- first.
-
- To compile the libraries use the .BAT files TWMAKE.BAT (TurboC)
- or MWMAKE.BAT (Microsoft C). These .BAT files give instructions
- on their use if you type the TWMAKE or MWMAKE without parameters.
-
- To the extent possible, I will fix errors in the distributed
- files (ie, what I sent to the C Users Group) which are public
- domain. You may use the source as you like, but I will not make
- corrections to it after you have made changes. I tried to comment
- any tricky areas, and I think the code is clear. Good luck,
- you're on your own.
-
- On the other hand, I would appreciate suggestions and comments
- aimed at improving the package.
-
- I am distributing these programs in the public domain; if you use
- them and like them please send me a contribution for what you
- think they're worth to you. Compare with other graphics-mode
- windows-based user interface programs available commercially,
- which don't give you the source code.

- Sincerely,
