BACKGRND.ZIP (15,744 bytes) contains
source code and a sample bitmap to create a background for any
application and overlay a button control on it, to provide C API users
with the same capability that Visual Basic has inherently. It
originally appeared in Windows Tech Journal's October, 1996, issue, as
the feature of the "In The Apiary" column for that month.
BTCLASS.ZIP (22,500 bytes) is source
code for the Btrieve class module/ADRBOOK application from the October
1997 issue of VB Tech Journal.
BTRVH.ZIP (2,918 bytes) is the Btrieve.H header file required in order to compile the DATASAVE application.
CHARSETS.ZIP (49,547 bytes) contains a 16-bit
Windows application that demonstrates the effects of the AnsiToOem and
OemToAnsi functions, which are somewhat different from what one would expect
after studying the reference manuals. This material appeared in the February,
1996, "In The Apiary" column of Windows Tech Journal.
CLOSEUP.ZIP (14,313 bytes) contains
source code and necessary executables for the CloseUp utility that
first appeared in the August, 1996 issue of Windows Tech Journal's "In
The Apiary" column. This utility provides an enlarged view of the
pixels surrounding the mouse "hot spot" so that you can position it
accurately.
DATASAVE.ZIP (17,861 bytes) is the data
recovery utility described in the Winter 1996 issue of Btrieve
Developer's Journal. Note that the required header file for this program is in BTRVH.ZIP listed above.
DEVLOD7.ZIP, (46,835 bytes) contains the
latest version of DEVLOD from Undocumented DOS, 2nd Edition, updated
to work with Windows 95's DOS version. It also contains extended
discussion of a number of problems with the DEVLOD concept. Needs DVSUPORT.ZIP to compile.
DSAVE3A.ZIP (13,164 bytes) is a modified version of the data
recovery utility described in the Winter 1996 issue of Btrieve
Developer's Journal. The modification added progress reporting,
and corrected a problem that sometimes appeared when recovering
compressed variable-length files. This file includes a text description
of how to use the program.
DVSUPORT.ZIP, (8,708 bytes) provides
UNDOCDOS.H and other support files required for compiling the DEVLOD program.
HELPMSG.ZIP (21,684 bytes) provides yet
another comparison between Visual Basic and Visual C++ actions, this
time to create a VB-callable extension to the MessageBox function. It
was the subject of the "In The Apiary" column for Windows Tech
Journal's May, 1997 issue.
LNK2KYLE.TXT (216 bytes) provides a ready-to-use button graphic and HREF package you can use if you want to put a link to this site on your own web page. If you do so, let me know and if possible I'll reciprocate with a link from my AdminisTrivia page to your site.
MAGGIE.ZIP (44,284 bytes) contains source code
and the executable file for a handy screen magnifier that can make life easier
for anyone who has trouble reading icon titles on a Windows 95 display. This
application appeared in the May, 1996, issue of Windows Tech Journal in my "In
The Apiary" column.
REGSAVER.ZIP (751 bytes) contains two
batchfiles from the very last "In The Apiary" column, in the August,
1997 issue of Windows Tech Journal. They provide a quick and simple
way to backup your Windows 95 registry, and to restore it later.
WEBNOTES.ZIP (66,345 bytes) is a
specialized Web Browser, based on Microsoft's Web Browser component,
that simplifies the process of making notes about content of any
desired web page, while you navigate the web. The whole project formed
my "In The Apiary" column in Windows Tech Journal for January, 1997.
The two zipfiles in this archive compare Visual Basic and Visual C++
capabilities for creating the same component-based application. In
addition to what's in the zip files, you'll need the appropriate
language compiler and a copy of the Microsoft Web Browser object,
which came as part of Internet Explorer version 3.x.
