VISUAL BASIC OFFICE - Version 1.02 Marquette Computer Consultants, 22 Sirard Lane San Rafael, Ca 94901-1066 (415) 459-0835 CompuServe 70413,3405 INSTALLING VBOFFICE: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ To install VBOffice, create a directory for the program and unzip the files in this zip file to it. If you have a BETA TEST version of VBOFFICE already installed, just unzip these files into the VBOFFICE directory you previously created. That will update your installation without changing your configuration. If you have received these files on diskette, you will also have a zipped copy of VBRUN300.DLL which VBOffice requires to run. If you wish you can move the VBX and DLL files to the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory, but it's not required.

DESCRIPTIONS FOR THOSE WHO STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VBOffice is a VB add-in which enhances the VB programming environment. VBO provides popup windows which give quick access to program, help, document and VBX Files. VBOffice also features advanced code management functions, extended undo via the Clipboard Monitor and API call evaluation assistance with the Handle List and SpyMode. You can use VBOffice automatically by replacing all calls to VB.EXE with calls to VBOFFICE.EXE in all Program Manager entries. If VB is correctly installed, VBOffice can launch it when it starts; it can also load the project you specify on the command line. REVISION HISTORY... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.02 Maintenance Release: 09/07/93. Modified popup windows to be modeless dialog children of Visual Basic using a newly discovered technique. This speeds up the program overall, since all forms are hidden more quickly when VB is minimize/d and the old code to do this no longer takes up system time. 1.01 Maintenance Release: 09/05/93. Fixed bug which crashed VBOffice when the buttonbar was on the bottom of the screen and a popup window was loaded for the first time. Code now correctly positions all popup windows with default values when first loaded, regardless of the position of the button bar. Also repaired problem which occurred when loading more than one HLP file at a time. 1.00 Initial release: 09/01/93.
