This the README.TXT file for NRPAPI.EXE or the API Toolkit Update Disk


To better serve our customers and to thank you for purchasing 
The AutoCAD Professional's API Toolkit, New Riders Publishing 
has compiled these additional Tips, Notes, Warnings, samples, and 
corrections for the book, The AutoCAD Professional's API Toolkit.

The information was compiled by Kurt Hampe from several sources. 
Many of the items listed were provided by Matt Gerten and Mike 
Dickason.  Additional information was gleaned from messages 
downloaded from the ACAD Forum on CompuServe.

This file lists and describes the information contained in NRPAPI.EXE 
or on the API Toolkit Update Disk. The files included are:

README.TXT   -  This file

TOOLKIT.TXT  -  An ASCII text file of additional information and
                corrections to material in the book.

SAMPLE.EXE   -  A self-extracting archive containing two sample
                ADS applications developed by Mike Dickason that 
                demonstrate the use of several ADS and DCL 
                techniques.  The code is fully documented. To 
                extract the files in SAMPLE.EXE, change to the 
                directory where you want to place the files, 
                then execute SAMPLE.EXE. (c) 1993 Mike Dickason

ADS.MAK      -  A make file created by Al Dass and Eric Sattler for 
                compiling ADS applications using the Borland Make utility.
                The make file will compile code for Borland and WATCOM
                compilers.  This file is fully documented.

SENDIT.LSP   -  The is an AutoLISP file used with the
                AutoCAD for Windows programming examples in
                the AutoCAD Professional's API Toolkit.
                SENDIT.LSP was inadvertently omitted from the
                disk that came with the book, so the file is
                being included here.

Here are the files found in SAMPLE.EXE

     README         -    A copy of this file listing

     GETSTYLE.LSP   -    An AutoLISP routine showing the use of the
                         (getstyle) function declared in
                         GETSTYLE.C.  Requires GETSTYLE.EXP in
                         order to run.  To run this program, (load
                         "getstyle") then run STS or STSU.

     GETSTYLE.DCL   -    The dialog file for the (getstyle)
                         function.

     GETSTYLE.C     -    The C program source code for the
                         (getstyle) function.

     SEL_ALL.LSP    -    An AutoLISP routine showing how to implement
                         a "Select All" and a "Clear All" button for
                         a dialog list box.  To run this routine,
                         (load "sel_all") then run DCL_LIST.

     SEL_ALL.C      -    The C program source to develop an ADS
                         version of a program showing how to
                         implement a "Select All" and a "Clear
                         All" button for a dialog list box.  To
                         run this routine after it is compiled,
                         (xload "sel_all") then run DCLADSLIST.

     SEL_ALL.DCL    -    The dialog file used by SEL_ALL.LSP and
                         SEL_ALL.C.
