  Included on this disk are two demo programs - Visual Forms/WIN and
  PrintWorks VBX.  Use these products independently or with each other.


                    ***  Visual Forms/WIN (VFW)  ***

  Files include: DESIGN.EXE, PANE.VBX, DESIGN.HLP, DESIGN.ICO

  This is a fully functional program for creating base forms (static)
  as well as positioning your data fields (variable) directly on those forms.  
  The ability to create a Windows Metafile (WMF) and Template File (TF) 
  are not available in this demo.  However, these features plus creating 
  a WMF with a placeable header are available in the distributed version.  
  Read the Help file (DESIGN.HLP) to understand how the program works 
  before you get started.

  1. Read the section in the Help file on how to move, re-size and select
     objects as well as actions for keyboard Keys.

  2. When adding multiple lines of text, press CTRL+ENTER after each line
     unless you want the text to wordwrap.

  3. Create a new Font List or add additional fonts the DEFAULT font list
     before adding new text objects.

  4. Clicking the Properties button on the toolbar toggles it on/off.

  5. Press CTRL+Left Mouse button to add another object to already 
     selected objects.

  Using Visual Forms/WIN (VFW)

  Visual Forms/WIN is an interactive forms designer that creates complex 
  base forms and documents that are saved as standard Windows metafiles. 
  You can even load a BMP file of a form directly into VFW and simply 
  position your data fields.  This is a quick and easy way to create 
  base forms with data fields.  Then include them into your application 
  using PrintWorks VBX. (See below). Or load a BMP of the form and draw 
  directly on top of it as if it were on a light box - to be saved as a 
  Windows metafile.  This eliminates measuring and guess work.  Import 
  OCR or ASCII text files and format as left, right, centered or fully 
  justified.  This saves time in adding large copy blocks such as 
  instructions found on many forms. If you don't like the way a font 
  looks, make a global change from one font for another with a click of 
  the mouse.  Copy or repeat one or more objects to another location -- 
  ideal for labels or sections of a form containing similar yet different 
  attributes.  
  
  Template files (TF) that are created with VFW are used with PrintWorks. 
  Template files contain all the necessary information for your data 
  fields - Xpos, Ypos, field name or system assigned number, font, text 
  formatting, such as: left, right, center, decimal align or fully 
  justified.  When used with PrintWorks, your customers preview and print
  forms filled with data from within your Visual Basic application.


                        *** PrintWorks VBX ***

  Files included: PWDLL.DLL, DMWIN.VBX, DMWIN.HLP
      TESTn.EXE, TESTn.*, WMF, TF, TFL, BMP - are used for the demo.

  TEST1.EXE and TEST2.EXE are demos programs.  To run the demos, either 
      click TEST1.EXE and TEXT2.EXE from the Windows File Manager, or 
      create a Program Item on the Windows desktop using DESIGN.ICO for 
      the icon.

  DMWIN.HLP is the help file.  Click this file from Windows File Manager  
      to read.

  TEST1.EXE consists of 8 controls.  Make sure TF, TFL, BMP and WMF files
      are in your working directory to run the demos.  TEST1.EXE 
      demonstrates the following:

        Line objects, direct API calls
        Three-D Bar, Bitmaps, starting Preview close up
        Three-D Pie
        Fonts and formatted text
        Rotated Text, PrintEvent and PreviewingClosing custom events
        Multiple pages, Forms, Templates, Data Fields, Metric units,
                Landscape orientation
        Invisible control

  TEST2.EXE demonstrates using the control as a picture window. 
      Command buttons show how to zoom in and out, and how the scroll 
      bars automatically appear when needed.  This demo also shows how 
      the PrintDocument property can be used with the control as a picture
      window to create your own custom preview window.


  Using PrintWorks VBX

  PrintWorks is a custom control that greatly simplifies creating, pre-
  viewing and printing documents of all kinds.  When used with Visual
  Forms/WIN, your users can preview, print and FAX forms filled with
  data from within your program.  

  PrintWorks creates the output by actually drawing it, not by using 
  graphics controls or executing a form print. PrintWorks uses the graphics 
  capability of the Windows API to create scalable matafiles to represent 
  each page.  This results in using less resouces and is the most efficient 
  method to preview and print while at the same time produce the highest 
  quality output.  Preview and print multiple pages with different
  orientations (portait and landscape) and units of meassure (inches and
  metric).

  There are approximately 90 properties to create customized forms and 
  reports containing formatted text (including wordwrap and decimal align), 
  lines, circles, rectangles, graphics, and arcs. The hMetaDC property 
  contains the metfile device context allowing you to access the Windows 
  API directly so that you can add your own routines.  You can also save 
  PrintWorks metafiles to disk to use with other applicaitons. Use as a 
  command button, a picture window or make invisible.
