Release date: July 1, 1993.

	This is always the best file to write because it means 
you've finally finished the program. For me it's the end of two 
months solid work and the culmination of more than twelve 
months worth of ideas. Allow me to introduce myself my name is 
Jeff and this is my latest program - The Microworks (that's me) 
Custom Control Object Library version 1.01. 

	The MWCC Object Library is a full 3D extension to 
Object Windows and is compatible with TPW 1.5 and BP 7.0. It 
provides you with a comprehensive set of 3-dimensional windows, 
dialogs and custom controls to use in your application 
development. Using the library is easy. Just derive your 
application objects from the objects in the MWCC object unit 
and distribute your application with MWCC.DLL. You wont need to 
use BWCC.DLL or CTL3D.DLL. Using the MWCC library you can 
easily implement an enhanced Borland look, an enhanced 
Microsoft 3D look or use the library's own custom 3D style.

	As you browse through the library and begin to realise 
how powerful it is one question should come to mind. Why would 
anyone go to all this trouble to write a program and then 
release it as freeware? Well, I'm glad you asked. There are 
several reasons;

1. I wanted to make some sort of pay back to all those 
   programmers who make samples of there source code freely 
   available on the Compuserve BPascal forum. Without those 
   precious samples there is no way I could have started to 
   develop my Pascal programming skills.  

2. And I can't deny it, I also wrote this library for myself 
   in preparation for the 4th version of my shareware program.

3. Lastly, I'm wrote this program as a bribe because I 
   desperately need your help.

	There are several zip files in MWCC.zip. Main.zip 
contains all the object library files for both TPW 1.5 and BP 7.0. 
Before you start looking through the files MWCC.DLL should be 
copied into your Windows system subdirectory.

	Examples.zip contains the sample source code for the 
six basic windows and dialogs. Help.zip contains my wish 
list, two sample C programs and a heart warming letter that 
hopefully will convince someone to help me.

	The other five files are sample applications and their 
source code. Their purpose is to show you how to use some of 
the MWCC custom controls and perhaps show you a few new tricks. 
There is a detailed commentary with each program.

	Hotkey1.zip shows you how to implement a task only 
hotkey and Hotkey2.zip shows you how to implement a system wide 
hotkey, both using the wh_Keyboard hook. MDITool.zip shows off 
some common file dialogs, some message boxes and the enhanced 
Borland style bitmapped buttons. It also shows you how to set 
up a moveable toolbar using code 'one quarter the size' of the 
long winded Toolbar sample that came with BP 7.0. WinMenu shows 
you one way to set up a 3D menu bar and WinTask takes the 
ownerdraw list box one step further and shows you how to create 
a graphical Windows task manager. 

	No source code has been supplied for MWCC.tpu, MWCC.tpw 
or MWCC.dll.

	You are free to use this library in you application 
development provided your program is distributed as shareware. 
This library may not be used in the development of any 
commercial program in any way without prior negotiation of a 
commercial licence.

	If you don't have the time to help me but do have some 
useful snippets of code you think I might be interested in - 
I'd be grateful if you sent them to me. I hope you find this 
object library a useful addition to your programming tools.
