                              Release Notes
                      Extra ooDialog Samples v0.0.8
                      =============================

  The extra ooDialog samples package is meant to provide ooDialog
  programmers with example programs beyond what is shipped with the
  regular ooRexx installation.

  Download the installation package that matches the bitness of you ooRexx
  installation.  If you have a 32-bit ooRexx installed use the package
  containing _x86_32 in its name.  If you have 64-bit ooRexx installed use
  the package with _x86_64 in its name.

  ooDialog users should request examples they would like to see, and are
  encouraged to submit their own example programs that they would like to
  share with other users.  It would be gratifying to the author if
  ooDialog users participated in shaping what example programs are
  included in the package.

  The example programs are installed through a normal Windows installer,
  which includes an uninstall program.  The package can be cleanly,
  completely, uninstalled using the Control Panel -> Add / Remove
  Programs.  Alternatively, the package can be uninstalled by running the
  uninstaller.exe program in the installation directory.

  By default the package is installed in the current user's application
  data folder.  This location can be changed during installation.

  To gain the full benefit of the examples, the comments throughout the
  program code should be read.  Some directories may contain additional
  documentation in the form of "read me" files within the directory.

  Notes:
  ------

  *  Version 0.0.8 of the package requires ooDialog 4.2.0 or later to run
  most of the example programs in the package.  Some example programs now
  require ooDialog 4.2.1.

  *  The release contains around 3 dozen example programs.

  Changes Since v0.0.7:
  ---------------------

  Examples:
  ---------

  The standard dialogs shipped with ooDialog are convenience dialogs that
  make some common tasks easy to perform.  Typically convenience dialog
  classes and or convenience functions and are not very flexible.  Some
  examples have been added that demonstrate how to code your own
  convenience dialogs / functions and write in the flexiblity you might
  want.

  These convenience dialogs have been added:

  * Dialogs\useful.dialogs\AskDlg\AskDlg.cls

    A replacement for the standard AskDialog class that allows the
    programmer to specify the font for the dialog

  * Dialogs\useful.dialogs\InfoMessge\InfoMessage.cls

    A replacement for the standard InfoDialog routine that allows the
    programmer to specify the postion of the dialog and / or the font for
    the dialog

  The convenience dialogs / routines can be used as is, and provide
  examples of how to write your own convenience dialogs / routines.  Some
  simple test programs are included that demonstrate how to use the new
  classes.
