Installation
===============================================================================

Create a directory for TracePlus/VBX+Windows, i.e. C:\SST. Copy all 	
the files contained in this ZIP file to that directory. To run the TracePlus 	
demonstration, select "Run..." from the "File" menu of the Program	
Manager and type:

    C:\SST\TPVBX
	
Press Ok or <ENTER> to start TracePlus/VBX+Windows.

This program is limited to storing up to 200 most recent trace 
records. The demonstration version of TracePlus/VBX will trace 12 Windows API functions
and VBX properties with integer values (excluding enumerated properties). 
VBX methods, events, and bound control messages are also disabled. 
All other property types (strings, etc.) are available in the retail version.
The monochrome, file, and printer log options in the Options dialog box will 
also be disabled. Otherwise all other features are fully functional.

All features that are disabled are enabled in the retail version.

===============================================================================
Using TracePlus/VBX in Design mode

We recommend that you start TracePlus/VBX+Windows before Visual Basic (or any
design environment that runs your application via an interpreter), if you will use it in
Design mode. An alternative approach is to launch Visual Basic from TracePlus, i.e.:

1. Select the Filters item from the Trace menu.
2. Check the box next to the words Launch application below.
3. Press the Choose Application button. Find the Visual Basic 4.00 .EXE file, i.e.
VB.EXE (It usually is in the \VB directory). Double-click on it  The Choose
Application dialog box will disappear, and the filename will appear in the Filters dialog
box.
4. Press Ok to close the Filters dialog box.
5. Press the Start button on the toolbar, or select Start from the Trace menu.

How TracePlus/VBX locates your VBX Controls

When you start TracePlus/VBX+Windows, TracePlus creates a database of VBXs it
found on your PC. The search criteria that TracePlus uses is:

1. The Windows system directory
2. The directories found in the DOS PATH statement.
3.The directory of the application you specified to launch via the Filters dialog box.
