              README FOR ENGLISH VERRSION OF WDIALOG V2.00

This folder contains a complete English WDIALOG package in version 2.00, 
translated by Peter West of TransAction.

WDIALOG.PRG should be copied into the AUTO folder, though for many 
applications it may also be started subsequently by double-clicking 
from the desktop. Its use and origins are described in the first page 
of the hypertext "Intentions, conditions, ovations" which should be
loaded into CAB or similar browsers for reading. The rest of the 
hypertext provides very full programmer's documentation HTML format,
extensively cross-referenced.

WDIALOG.PRG is required by some programs (including tools supplied with
NVDI) to make them work. Note that it may clash with some desk accessories
such as Chameleon, particularly if run from the AUTO folder. In such cases 
disable the accessory by renaming it to *.ACX with the "Show info" desktop
function (or use a boot manager to do this).

The BIN folder contains a number of demonstration programs using WDIALOG's 
extra capabilities, complete with Pure-C source code listings.

Double-click the *.APPs in the usual way to try them out. If you haven't 
loaded WDIALOG beforehand, a suitable alert will appear.

FNT_SMP2 is a skeleton font selector with a vertical list box.
FNT_SMP3 is a font selector demonstrating cycling with fnts_update()
FNT_SMPL is the complete font selector with an extra button.

The above examples will only work properly if a GDOS, or preferably NVDI, 
and some fonts have been loaded into the system. Otherwise only the 
system font sill be available.

PDLG_SMP1 shows a 4-item icon list box in a window dialog permitting 
various printer settings to be set in different subdialogs.
PDLG_SMP2 has the same items in a modal dialog.
PDLG_SMP3 is a 6-item window dialog demonstrating some extra functions and 
PDLG_SMP4 is the corresponding modal dialog.

WDLG_SMP is a window dialog using both horizontal and vertical list boxes.
XOBJ_SMP is a window dialog with some extended object types.

Enjoy!
