**** NOTES ABOUT EW256BMP.DLL ****

Welcome to version 2.0 of EW256BMP.DLL, the WinHelp
Extension Library that allows you to easily display
256 color and 24-bit bitmaps in your Windows Help
files.

Plus, version 2.0 adds 16 custom WinHelp macros for
use when constructing your Windows Help files. The
macros are easy to use and add a lot of extra
functionality that is otherwise not easy to obtain
-- or that cannot be obtained -- otherwise. Here is
some of what EW256BMP adds to your Help file writing
arsenal:

** A CUSTOM DIALOG you can define on the fly and call
at any time. You can set the dialog box title bar
text, the dialog's title caption, a FULL copyright
statement, a brief description of your file, the size
and color of the dialog's title text, as well as the
background color of the dialog box itself.

** EASY TO DISPLAY MESSAGE BOXES...four different
styles, in fact. Completely configurable as you
define the message box text and the text to display
on the title bar of the message box.

** EASILY EXTRACT files you have stored as baggage
files in Help's internal file system.

** DELETE FILES you have extracted from Help's internal
file system when you are finished with their use. Allows
you to store multimedia elements as a part of the Help
file itself and delete them when you use them, leaving
the user's drive free of a bunch of unwanted or
unneeded files.

** CHANGE THE TITLE BAR TEXT of any Help window virtually
at will, at any time, in your Help file.

** PRINT MANY OR ALL THE TOPICS in the Help file with
a new custom macro that allows you to specify topics
sequentially and print them out one after the other.

** READ & WRITE values from/to any INI file on the user's
system...or create your own INI file with two new custom
macros that easily allow you to manipulate INI files.

****** Plus MORE...!
