CODETAINER
Codetainer is a Visual Basic 5 add-in where you can store procedures and code-fragments for future use. The code is organized in folders for easy retreival. The code-database has a free text-search capability (including comments). The code in the database can easily be pasted directly into the current VB project through just one easy command.

In addition, Codetainer can be used to examine existing VB files. The code in existing files can be stored in the databased or easily pasted into the current VB project.

INSTALLATION
Unzip the Codetainer archive (Codetainer.zip) to an empty floppy-disk or an empty folder on your hard-drive. Then run the Setup.exe to automatically install Codetainer to your system. (You may then optionally delete the content on the floppy/in the folder, but you will then also delete this file and the handbook that comes in rtf and htm formats.)

Codetainer installs in the Windows System-folder as Codetainer.dll. The help-file (Codetainer.hlp) also installs in the Windows System-folder. The Codetainer database (Codetainer.mdb) installs in the Windows-folder. In addition the setup-program will install Vbutil.dll and Codetainer.dep to the Windows System-folder.

Vbutil.dll is written by Bruce McKinney and is (c) copyright MS-PRESS 1995.
All the other files installed are written by and (c) copyright Magnus Brorsson 1997-1998.

IMPORTANT ABOUT RE-INSTALLATION
If you re-install Codetainer the setup program will replace your Codetainer database (Codetainer.mdb) with a blank default database. To fix this you will have to make a backup of Codetainer.mdb BEFORE you do the installation and then copy the backup-copy over the newly installed mdb-file after the installation.
