"The Wiz" - Add-In for 32-bit VB4  version 1.02.0005
Copyright Rae MacLeman 1996. All rights reserved.


SHAREWARE

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue using it, you are required to register it (as in the case of 'The Wiz'). The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy. And because the overhead is lower, prices are lower also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it. So, play fair -- Version 2 is already in work and will provide alignment, repositioning, retabbing, resizing, menu generation, a forms gallery and much more... VERSION TWO WILL BE A FREE UPGRADE FOR THOSE WHO REGISTER VERSION 1.2


BREAKING NEWS

The 'Indent' icon shown in the Help file differs from that shown on the toolbox. This is to differentiate between the 'auto indent' feature offered in this version and the 'auto indent' and 'manual block indent' features which will be offered in Version 2.


REQUIREMENTS

To run 'The Wiz' you will need VB4 32-bit and the MFC 4.0 DLLs. I regret the need for the rather large MFC 4.0 DLLs, but they are required to distribute all third-party 32-bit OCXs. If you don't have them on your system they can be found in several CIS forums.


Thank you for downloading 'The Wiz'. In the zip archive you should find nine files. These are...

README.TXT		(this file)
WIZ.EXE			(the executable)
WIZ.HLP			(the help file)
REMOVEWIZ.BAT		(batch file to de-register the add-in)
32BITAPI.00_		(data)
32BITCONST.00_		(data)
32BITTYPES.00_		(data)
CODE.DAT		(data)
TIPS32.OCX		(Tooltips custom control)

INSTALLATION

1. Un-zip the first 8 files to the C:\Program Files\Wiz\ subdirectory and put TIPS32.OCX in your \Windows\System subdirectory. Check the version number if you have a previous version to avoid overwriting a newer version.

2. Using the Win 95 Explorer or "My Computer" (yuck!), access WIZ.EXE and double-click on the file. The application will start and then immediately close down, but it will have registered itself in the System registry.

3. Start up VB4 and click on the 'Add-Ins' menu option. Choose 'Add-In Manager' and check the box next to the entry which says 'The Wiz'. Click 'OK'.

4. Click on the 'Add-Ins' menu option again and you should see an entry for 'The Wiz' this time. Click on 'The Wiz' and the new add-in will load.

5. Right-click anywhere on the toolbox or on any of the displayed forms for in-context help on how to use 'The Wiz'.


UNINSTALLATION

'The Wiz' will create a .INI file but it keeps all its files in its own sub-directory so... just...

1.  De-select 'The Wiz' from the Add-Ins Manager.

2.  Close VB4.

3.  Run REMOVEWIZ.BAT.

4.  Delete the \Wiz subdirectory and all the files inside from your disk. 

5.  Finally, use a text editor to edit the [Add-Ins32] section of VB.INI and remove the line which reads "TheWiz.Connector=0". All Done!


LIMITATIONS

The evaluation version will only load the first 50 declares, Constants or Types. It will only insert the first About form template, will not allow you to set the default programmer name and it inserts various tasteful messages thanking you for using 'The Wiz' when it inserts code in your project. All of these restrictions can be eliminated by registration.

REGISTRATION

To register 'The Wiz' for just $10 or 6.50, GO SWREG on Compuserve, or contact the author on 76152,3066. You will be sent a very small registration key file which will unlock the full functionality of 'The Wiz' - there's no more to download. There are tools which do much more, and tools which cost more, but 'The Wiz' offers a reasonable level of complexity for not a lot of cash - it's what most people need for what most people can afford to pay.

Version 2 is already in work and will provide alignment, repositioning, retabbing, resizing, menu generation, a forms gallery and much more... VERSION TWO WILL BE A FREE UPGRADE FOR THE FIRST 100 PEOPLE TO REGISTER VERSION 1.2 - when you register I will advise you of your place in the 'buying order' and send you the upgrade automatically.
