- WinPMail 2.0 Extensions
-
- This directory contains several sample extensions you can use with WinPMail
- version 2.0 and later. All the samples are provided both as executables and
- with complete source code. Each extension's DLL and source code are located
- in a matched subdirectory of this directory. This directory also contains
- the header file necessary when writing extensions, and a document called
- WPMFORMS.TXT which describes the development process.
-
-
- Using the sample binary extensions
-
- Assuming you have used a default installation of WinPMail (namely you
- have unpacked WINPMAIL.ZIP using the -d flag to PKUNZIP), the extensions
- which ship with WinPMail v2.0 can be used simply by issuing the command:
-
- COPY *.FFF ..
-
- This will copy the form definition files into the WinPMail base directory
- where they will be found the next time you run WinPMail. The definition
- files have been designed to be as general as possible and the only
- modifications they require are optional default strings (see each file for
- information about what can be defaulted).
-
- Extensions are accessed in WinPMail by selecting "Extensions" from the file
- menu. This will open the Extensions Manager with a list of the extensions
- found at startup.
-
-
- Compiling the sample extensions
-
- The extensions supplied with WinPMail 2.0 were written using Borland C++
- v3.1, although they can be compiled using later versions as well simply by
- loading the .PRJ project file. They should compile without warnings or
- errors provided you adjust the location of the file BWCC.LIB which appears
- in the project list (the easiest way to adjust the location is to remove
- the entry from the project and re-add it). They are reasonably well-
- commented and should serve as a practical basis for your own extensions.
