WAPAPI (for Win95 / Win NT) --------------------------------- TABLE OF CONTENTS ----------------- 1. What is Wapapi 2. Installation 3. More Examples 4. Files on the Disk 5. Registration 6. Disclaimer 1. What is Wapapi? -------------------- Wapapi is a development tool that lets your PowerBuilder or Delphi programs become Web Servers. By using Wapapi, you can create a dynamic web site, create dynamic web pages, and leverage your other development tools by allowing web access. This is a 32 bit Windows application for Win95 or Win NT that requires that you have a web browser such as Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. The philosophy behind Wapapi was to make an extremely easy to use product that would not take a long time to learn. I think that you will find it easy to plug Wapapi into your applications, and you won't have to worry about the low-level interface stuff. 2. Installation ---------------- Wapapi is distributed in a ZIP file. Unzip this file onto your hard drive: PKUNZIP Wapapi.ZIP This program does not modify your registry or make any footprint on your system outside of the directory you unzip it to. To watch Wapapi in action, run the WapServe.EXE program. Then bring up your web browser and point it to: HTTP://Localhost 3. More Examples ------------------ More examples, and sample code in PowerBuilder, Delphi, C, and Visual Basic are available on-line at: http://www.wapapi.com This is an evolving web site; we'll be posting new info weekly. 4.

Registration ---------------- Wapapi is distributed as shareware. Feel free to play around with it for 90 days free of charge. If you like it or use it in a production application, you must register your copy. When you register: * You will be entitled to six months of free upgrades. * You can contact me for any support questions you might have. The best way is to send Email to the address given below. * You will feel better. (maybe) Actually, I really believe this is true. * When my wife Stephanie sees registrations come in, she's more likely to let me stay at my computer longer, and more cool features and examples will go into Wapapi! So how do you get a registered version? Simple: METHOD 1: Send $185.00 plus $5.00 shipping and handling (US and international orders) along with name and mailing address to: Michael Gardner 1231 Redwood Ct. Anchorage AK 99508 (We also accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express; please include card number and expiration date if ordering with your credit card) ((From Europe we are sorry to say that we can not cash Eurocheques, as banks here want to charge me $35 for handling.)) METHOD 2: Email. This is my favorite method of registration. By this method I will simply email you the latest registered version. This has a couple of advantages. First there is no shipping and handling cost. The entire cost to you is $185. Second, I am assured that you have received the product. (I am always concerned about the postal mail. You send a check, I send a disk, I cash the check, you don't receive the disk. Yuck!) To initiate this method all you need to do is send me an Email message with the registration form attached to: mikeg@alaska.net METHOD 3: Call Brown Bear Software at 907-278-1231 (This is in Alaska) We make every effort to get all orders shipped as quickly as possible. Oh! and I would like to hear any comments and suggestions that you might have. Thanks David Bush dbush@alaska.net http://www.wapapi.com Phone (907) 278-1231 April 19, 1997 6.
