		VBXGEN 2

VBXGEN 2 is a utility for use with Microsoft Visual
Basic, which helps in the creation of VBX tools.

VBXGEN 2 is a source code generator which will
produce full source code for your own VBX, with
the properties and events that you specify.

To compile the source code produced you will need
a windows C compiler capable of producing VBX tools
(i.e. Visual C++), and Visual Basic professional
version 3. Read the help file included for info
on using VBXGEN.

This downloaded version of VBXGEN 2 is a shareware
version which allows you to create your own VBX
tools, but restricts user defined event parameters.
If you register (which you can do though the post,
or via compuserve, GO SWREG), the full version will
be sent to you. See the VBXGEN about box for
registration info. The compuserve shareware reg no.
is 4791, use this when registering via the SWREG forum.

This slimmed down, download does not contain the VBX
and DLL files needed to run VBXGEN 2 (yes you guessed
it, VBXGEN was actually written in VB). The files needed
are as follows.....

  File		Version	Date	Size
CMDIALOG.VBX	2.1.0.5		28/4/93	18,688
COMMDLG.DLL	3.11		1/11/93	97,936
THREED.VBX	3.0.0.6		28/4/93	64,544
VBRUN.DLL	03.00.0538	12/5/93	398,416
GRID.VBX	02.00.0910	8/2/93	54,048

To find the version info for files, use the file
menu properties, in the WFWG file manager.
If you do not have all the VBX's of DLL's, you can
download the full shareware install disk from
compuserve (VBXGNSHR.EXE).

To contact the author, Paul Pagett, send compuserve 
mail to 100257,3010. To contact the author from the
internet, send email to 
	100257.3010@compuserve.com

To install VBXGEN simply place the files VBXGEN2.EXE
and VBXGEN.HLP in a directory on your hard disk, and
run VBXGEN2.EXE in windows.

By the way, I am fully aware that OCX controls will
kill off VBX's in time, however OCX dev tools are
not exactly just round the corner, so why wait,
you can join the 'component based development'
revolution right now. VBX's arent dead yet.. as the
saying goes....
