INSTALLING/UPGRADING VISUAL BASIC OFFICE
------------------------------------------------------------------------
To install VBOffice 1.1 simply unzip these files into a new directory.  If
VBOffice is already installed, just install these files over your current
ones. If you wish to return to the previous version of the program, simply
unzip these same files from your previous ZIP file (VBO103.ZIP).  There
have been no changes to the format of VBOFFICE.DAT or VBOFFICE.INI, so
it's easy to backpedal should you want to.

NEW FEATURES!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release of VBOffice features the ScratchPad, which allows you to
collect code from various places in your project into a single text
editor.  The ScratchPad can fetch selected text from Notepad or from VB's
code windows with the click of a button.  When you're done, VBOffice saves
the text into Code Librarian or Code Typist file (depending on where you
launched the ScratchPad from!).

The ScratchPad also automatically pops up when you *copy* the current Sub
or Function into the Code Librarian; you use the ScratchPad to select and
copy API, TYPE and CONST declarations into your modules.  Now you can
create plug & play Code Librarian files which have the required API calls
'bundled in.'

There's also another placement option for the buttonbar; on top of VB
itself! Now VBOffice can be configured to take up *no* additional screen
space!

DESCRIPTIONS FOR THOSE WHO STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS IS:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
VBOffice is a VB add-in which enhances the VB programming environment. VBO
provides popup windows which give quick access to program, help, document
and VBX Files.  VBOffice also features advanced code management functions,
extended undo via the Clipboard Monitor and API call evaluation assistance
with the Handle List and SpyMode.

You can use VBOffice automatically by replacing all calls to VB.EXE with
calls to VBOFFICE.EXE in all Program Manager entries.  If VB is correctly
installed, VBOffice can launch it when it starts; it can also load the
project you specify on the command line.

REVISION HISTORY...

1.1     Added the ScratchPad text editor; coded it for use in creating new
        Code Librarian and Code Typist modules; also coded it to allow
        user to bundle API calls into new Code Librarian files.
        ScratchPad can also load and save text files and has an AutoPop
        option which pops it to the top when the mouse moves over it.
        Also added positioning option to place the ButtonBar on *top* of
        Visual Basic; now VBOffice can be configured to take up *NO*
        additional screen space! Improved functions to obtain selected
        text from code modules using new API calls.

        FIXES: Modified the routine to determine the actual location of
        VB.EXE; If it's not specified in the INI file or the registration
        database the user is prompted to enter it's full path and
        filename.  This eliminated some inconsistencies with running VBO
        under Windows NT.

1.03    Maintenance Release 09/16/93.  Modified popup windows to be
        modeless dialog children of Visual Basic using a newly discovered
        technique. This speeds up the program overall, since all forms are
        hidden more quickly when VB is minimize/d and the old code to do
        this no longer takes up system time. File Import/Export routines
        now return to original directory upon completion (no more "disk
        not in drive A:" message). Fixed problem reading captions with
        commas. HotKey settings are now correctly saved between sessions.

1.01    Maintenance Release: 09/05/93.  Fixed bug which crashed VBOffice
        when the buttonbar was on the bottom of the screen and a popup
        window was loaded for the first time.  Code now correctly
        positions all popup windows with default values when first loaded,
        regardless of the position of the button bar.  Also repaired
        problem which occurred when loading more than one HLP file at a
        time.

1.00    Initial release: 09/01/93.
