************************** The WORXBENCH 1.1 ***************************

The WorXbench is a collection of high-level tools for Paradox for
Windows (5.0) application developers.  It was developed in Germany,
by Oliver Neumann and Ulrich Zindler, but you are obviously reviewing 
the English (E) version.

WorXbench makes it easy to develop one or more PFW applications 
-- and it's ideal for teams of developers.
 

The Major Components
====================

->      Menu-Generator which is able to create any type of menu you need 
with enabled, grayed, checked, unchecked type -- just simple and reusable. 
Menus will be written into Menulibraries, which you can re-use from as 
many forms as you like.

->      Button-Designer which helps you create your own "library" of
custom buttons, even 2-state buttons with different pictures for
the pushed and unpushed states.  

->      Code-Helper, which helps you find and create ObjectPAL (OPAL)
source code.  It includes direct online-help for methods, constants, 
and errors.  The help information is presented in a simple,
hierarchical way for ease of learning.

->      a PFW-friendly FileManager, which does the basic file-operations 
WITHIN Paradox.  This includes printing via DDE (e.g. Corel Draw files), 
deletes, moves, renames, and program launching.  You'll wish Windows had
done it this well!

->      Complete management, complete maintenance and trace of your 
projects for single and multiple user development.  Every File will 
be traced for its changes.

->      Source-Code backup, editing, delivering and maintaining for
ALL THREE datatypes (FSL, LSL, SSL) with OPAL-Code for Paradox WIN.

->      Method-Browser, a permanent Codebase where you enter your 
best source code.  From there, you can import/export OPAL code to 
Forms, Scripts and Libraries.  You can do global search/replace of 
any phrase in the Method-Browser, and WorXBench will make ALL the 
necessary changes to all the linked objects!!!

->      ToolManager, for integrating other tools which you might 
have bought or created (e.g. AppExpert, etc.) - you do not need to 
throw them away!  WorXBench makes them even easier to get to.

->      Errors and Messages - Tool.  Organize your constants and 
error messages into one very quick and clear table.  This gives you 
one central place for all text messages.  We needed this to make 
WorxBench multi-lingual, and you can use it too.

->      Two Setup-programs:
	* one for personal quick installations;
	* one for professional looking Setups, which
		show Bitmaps
		create multiple-directories ...
		read multiple disks
		interprets win.ini

Both are managed from the component "Install Manager" -- which is able
to create a Setup.exe based on information you've already entered
into WorxBench about your project.  You just have to add some 
descriptions and indicate the path for your setup.exe.

->      The Project Manager, which is the Top-Level Module of WorXbench,
lets you browse through one or more Projects without changing your 
working directory.  This is ideal for developers working on more than
one application and wanting to re-use code across projects.  The
Project Manager has buttons to launch the other Components listed above.
It can also copy, rename, and print any of your application files.

->      The Documentation Manager makes it easy for you to print out
your objects, including OPAL source code, changes, version info and 
your own descriptions too.  In a multi-user environment, the Documentation
Manager tracks who made changes to every file in your project, and what
those changes were.

->      All Managers use reusable Databases, so that you do not need to 
do all things twice in Future.
